I've used them before for caliper seals and other stuff and they were very helpful and delivery was quick. Sounds ok for disc prices but a local factors would probably be cheaper.

I find that brakes are extremely good value, as if you dont have them, repairing the crumpled front end of you're veh-hicle can prove very costly!

i will be getting a price from local factors, but GSF are usually a good yardstick to go by, and iirc, they're about £21 per disc
