    Borg and Beck discs are very good and very cheap on ebay. OEM spec for a quarter of the price. £46 for a pair of 294mm Front discs (BBD4119) £42 for a pair of 290mm Rear discs (BBD5412) Their brake pads aren’t too bad from what i’ve heard. But haven’t tried the pads myself. I had great results on track running the Cosworth pads on Borg and Beck discs before going big brake upgrade.

    Labour per axle if you havent done it before (and have the tools) Probably an hour or so. If its something you've done on other cars, 30-40mins or so per axle. Tools required: Caliper Retractor/big ass screwdriver 17&15mm socket (I think, but a socket set will cover you). Red/Silicon Grease for the slide pins, Copper Grease Torque Wrench Jack You can find the torque settings in the thread here. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19673 If youre doing the rear disks, you'll need to wind the handbrake off the disks by removing the rubber gromet from the disk, have that located at the bottom. The bit at the bottom of the pic with the spokes pointing out (visible through the newly revealed hole in the disk). Turn it one way with a screwdriver through the hole, it pushes/pulls the shoes from the disks, that will allow easy removal. Dont forget to wind it back in on the new set until tight and release it 2-3 notches otherwise the handbrake will do sweet FA.
