For 370mm/345mm M Sport + brakes all round:

TRW 2 piece slotted/perforated (M performance) discs - £120 front, £61 rear (each)
Brembo Pads - £59 front (91.2mm x 114.8mm), £49 rear (87.9mm x 71.9mm)

Total £473. Discount is 19% and runs for another 7 hours. I assume they keep cycling through new slightly changed prices & discounts so this is mainly a gimmick?

Pad sensor should be OK as is.

They also list a fitting kit is £9 front/back from A.B.S. Has pins (front only) & springs. Shown as part no. 1886Q front (and 1889Q rear) - no OEM part listed - is the right for the 370/345mm discs? Is this really necessary - I would not expect the pins to have any damage and the spring is - well a spring.

Is there any issue with fitting the M Performance parts in the blue brakes? They fronts are only £1 more than the unslotted disc at £199 so seems daft not to!

Has anyone fitted the JP Group 370mm slotted one piece disc? JP Group only £67, but probably a bit heavier. Not sure I'd notice!

(or Zimmerman - £70/£91/£100, REMSA - £63, A.B.S. £75, FERODO £77, DELPHI £92 etc.)

(PS I got some red CRC Disc Quiet so hopefully this will help kill squeal)
Use the Autodoc app for the best discount, cycles every day at 11pm, hang on for around 23%.

Pins and springs are recommended to be changed after 4 years.

I think all those cheaper ones will be one piece cast iron discs, so best avoided.
