big discs and pads.... ?

[NIKGRIFF]

I've got a 180 kombi with the 'big brakes'. After a recent service i was informed i need new discs and pads.
Vw quoted me a small mortgage to change them, so I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on where to buy them from...
I've seen a company called MTEC doing some grooved and drilled discs, but i'm not sure which ones i require.
They are about 340mm diameter on the front

what can you lot recommend????

If you want big ........ Big brakes

Have you checked them yourself? In my experience, VW / Audi dealers have a history of "You need new disks / pads". A nice little earner for them

Same happened to me on my old T5.1

For 3 years VW kept telling me I needed New Discs & Pads.

Ordered them online & arranged for a Mechanic Mate to fit - he called me to his workshop to show me mine still on the van - he reckoned that there was at least 8k miles left on them!!

Mind you, BMW Dealerships are worse, everytime my old 3 series went in they wanted to Skim the discs due to uneven wear!
