MG MGF Technical - Brake discs replacement

I am looking at replaceing discs alround with OE or equivalent. I have just been quoted by my local MG dealer £130.00 for a set of rears, and £63.00 for the front. Seems on the high side and I would expect the fronts to be the more expensive. Any alternative suppliers would be appreciated.

thanks

Try Brown and Gammons Simon. I don't know for sure, but you could also ask Mike Satur or the MGF Centre.

I also seem to recall some excellent prices for OE discs from some internet suppliers - but I can't remember the URL (not very helpful that, sorry) - but have a look through this site's archive (Technical and General), you should be able to find them (unless someone can remember them?)

Just saw Pete's post on the other thread: www.spareshq.com - no listing for standard rear brakes, but the fronts are about 30 quid.

75 quid for the set? That's outstanding value! :o) Let us know how you get on with them Simon :o)

Ever hear of standard disks from a manufacture called "chase automotive". Their URL http://www.chaseauto.co.uk/ leads to a site for Saxbury Engineering Ltd. Saxbury Engineering were formed in 2001 acquiring the rights to distribute the Chase brand name products.

But has anybody used them or had any dealings?

Received the said items today, excellant service, the rear set are EBC standard, the front brembo. Would recommend using spares HQ. Total cost £77.00 including £6.00 delivery!

Simon, great price any chance you know of somewhere that does discounted shocks?

Thanks, Andrew.

Andrew,
The cheapest shocks I have seen are Rover Trophy shocks from B&G at £25 each (will fit a standard car - very slight increase in rebound damping)- not sure if you wanted these or better after market shocks though.
