Default Need Disks/Pads on all Corners !

Been told by Dealer, MOT tester & my tyre fitter (personal friend) that I need new disks/pads on all 4 corners.

So, I have looked at Brakes International, and have come up with the following.

Does this look right, or have I missed something really obvious ?

Front Disks : 2 @ £33.33 (BDS5994) = £66.66
Rear Disks : 2 @ £28.98 (BDS5995) = £57.96

Front Pads : 1 @ £20.58 (BPS2483) = £20.58
Rear Pads : 1 @ £14.43 (BPS2011) = £14.43

So Total of £159.63 + VAT + Delivery


Also, does anyone have any better (read cost effective) suggestions bearing in mind that I'm not really interested in high performance pads/disks/calipers as I don't do track days.

Thanks
Bharat

Has anyone got any experience of these please and how would they compare to OEM? On my recent service i was advised I need new discs when the pads wear out as they have scored. These look much cheaper.

For comparison how much would you guesstimate an Indy would charge to fit please?

you wanna skimp on brakes with the level of performance from a S2000?

I'd go OEM - Honda have done lots of testing. Have these manfacturers done the same??

The BI discs are great, but I always thought that is was best to match them with Honda pads as they are not that much more expensive.

If they take more than 2 hours they need to think about a career change.

Thanks Fester and Wobbly. Discs not due just yet but will bear these in mind when I do.

Was hoping to do a couple of track days this year but moving house got in the way! Would these discs be suitable for a track virgin on a couple of track days per year?

Lots of people on here have used BI for brakes and pads and they are perfectly fine for road use.
