2011 Octavia vRS.
I've done 88500 miles on the original discs and pads. Car currently being serviced and I'm informed the front pads are low and there are signs of corrosion on both discs, recommendation is to have them all replaced.
I was quoted £227 fitted (I think, I'll have to confirm). I've not given the go ahead right now as I obviously need to shop around etc.
I may see if I can find a garage willing to fit parts supplied by myself (unless the price above is good?).
Any particular makes to avoid?
Eicher is coming in cheapest for both discs and pads. Although I'm seeing other makes such as Bosch, Pagid & ATE.
Any reason for these brands over the cheapest options on a car such as mine?

Anywhere else that fits for a competitive price?

Cheers.

Thanks for all your responses.
The garage in question are an "Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat" specialist - yer, I know, don't exactly need a specialist for those brands....but cannot fault them at the moment.
I will go and take a look, but as noted above, as the originals have lasted 90k, even at £230 for new on both sides I cannot really complain.
