Any suggestions for a set of new front brakes for my 111S, I have worn out the disks and also need new pads so thought of a complete change. Never over impressed with the brakes on my 111S to start with. Are they easy to replace yourself or should I go get a professional to replace these for me?

Wonder if I needed to do both ends of the car? The rear disks look okay, but am unsure of whether I would therefore need to worry.

Help is crucial as I am getting closer to the wire!!!

Look here:-

For info on changing pads and discs, its pretty easy.

For new pads I think Pagids(someone will tell you which ones) are the ones too go for, but I use Green stuff, because they're cheap.

You do need to check the rear pads, often the inside ones wear quicker than the outside.
