Fitting brake discs and pads

[SimonR.]

How easy is this to do yourself?

Is there a guide anywhere?

Also what are good makes as I know nothing about brakes

It's really very straight forward.

With regards to brands, it depends what you want to with the car.
Brembo HC disks combined with ferodo ds2500 pads is the most common pairing.

Something not overly expensive just the ones on mine are looking a little rusty and the brake time seems too long (i might still be getting used to driving a different car) but I have to push quite hard to slow down

DS2500's, Brembo HC and braided lines. Best mod I did without a doubt. It's an insane improvement over standard and should cost around £250-300 in total for parts and any fluid/bleed kits you need. Assuming you have the correct tools (jack, stands, spanners)

Some very easy to follow guides in the guides section and I know I made several threads asking specific questions so dig these out too.

I was researching the same thing today, loads of stuff on youtube.
