Ok, can someone put me out of my misery ahead of tomorrow...
Costs for front discs/pads and fitting
Car has done 18k miles, but there is some significant scoring on the front discs already and the pad sensor is intermittently coming on.
I know its going to be painful.

Warranty?
Had mine replaced by Audi due to cracking the discs and superheating/killing the pads.
Get up early, go to "the track" and keep stopping hard from flat out till you break them

£1k - is that with fitting? Is it just me or is that waaay cheaper than the C5 RS standard brakes? Yes I know this is the C6 forum...

I think my pads are near the end and Audi said the discs need replacing should the discs be under warranty on 20k miles?

Camberley Audi did front brake discs + pads + labour at around 1k.
Don't think they'll cover brakes under warranty with 20k miles on them... I've replaced one set of pads at around 17k, then a couple of trips to germany later and at 27k got new discs and pads.

Are there any worth while alternatives to the OEM pads?

Panda, I've got C6 discs and callipers, Grizz put them on a year ago (for my birthday). I was more interested if there were alternative pads for the C6 setup.
