Just to be clear..the OEM discs and the Brembo discs are identical. They are both manufactured by Brembo.
Its a pity they don't stay this good looking!
OEM discs are Brembo disks :) :) I guess brembo decided to cut the middle man out aka AUDI THE Stealer lol

Just ordered these from Eurocarparts using code SUMMERSALE giving 25% discount. Used Topcashback for the first time which gave a further £37 cashback. They are offering 7.35% cashback for 2 days.

Also ordered Ferodo Premier pads and new pins and springs.

Now need to decide whether I fit them myself (never done it before and only really fettle push bikes) or take them to my local indie.

My local tyre / brake place charged me £50 + vat (so £60) to change discs and pads. Not worth the hassle to do yourself if you ask me.

Hmmm really? I usually can't wait for a weekend to do something on my car... It's not about the money for me. It's just I know I will do a more careful job myself than any other mechanic working on my car, and in most cases a better job.. It's like you second body lol, you know torque setting for all the bolts on your car ;)

I've just done front and rear discs/pads in about 3 hours total. Getting the pins out of the front calipers was a pain! U doing the bolts wasn't too bad with a big breaker bar, no way to do it without one. Rears are easy once the piston is wound back
