Check ebay always buy my pads and discs from there much cheaper than most places.
Just did a quick search, loads on there.

You fitting yourself?

eurocarparts.com is usually by far the cheapest place or like Ryanm198 said ebay is also good.

Try to avoid getting cheap 'and nasty' as best you can. Cheap break pads/discs squeel like a piggy.

Even the cheapest brakes you can get will be enough to lock the wheels (i.e. more than enough stopping power), although they may squeal / fade easily.

Budget tyres on the other hand...

be wary of the ones on ebay i bought some for my track car that were said to be grooves and cross drilled and they shattered

turns out they were standard disc that had been machined and had grooves put in them. the drivers side disc shattered and across one of the machined groove inturn demolishing my caliper and wrecking may day

I have used www.buypartsby.co.uk a few times.

They stock Mintex and EBC mainly.

Tyres don't offer hundreds of feet shorter stopping distances.

I remember seeing a chinese copy Conti sport 3 and the chinese copy stopped 3 feet after the real conti.

I could live with that tbh

budgets aren't inferior in any way
