hey wouldnt laugh, look nice, you using standard pads with them, and how much they set you back

 

[Alan]

Well i got mine from motorsport world http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ they are 10 mins from my house, they supplied and fitted the black diamond cross drilled and grooved discs with the fast road "predator" pads for £193 inc vat

They do mail order, the discs for the 172s are £140 and the pads i think are around £30-40 but am not sure.
