Hi James ans a warm welcome to MRC,

If you you wish we could supply aftermarket drilled or grooved Black Diamond front brake Disc\'s for £149 plus Vat for the pair.

If you don\'t really need the Disc\'s we have an excellent pad up grade that many FD and FC owners like, and that is the new Mintex Xtream pads that we sell for £120 inc vat for a complete front and rear set.

Here is some more info,
