Tell me about the LeonCupra R

[mjt]

Ridiculous amount of money for a set of brake pads. They dont cost that for a BMW M5!

I paid over £200 for front discs and pads at the dealer for my Cupra 4..
He didn't rip me off, those were VW prices

Seems a lot for discs, are these the right ones for the Leon? http://www.bremboshop.co.uk/_p4139069.htm

I get mine from there for my car and are £70 for a pair of brembo discs! (even the same P/N as the oem renault ones)
