that's quite similar to mine - I used RS4 calipers.

it depends what you mean by expensive - yes I though it a bit pricey, two calipers, mounts, two discs and the pads for £250

That seems very reasonable to me.

Although I was under the impression that replacement RS discs and pads are usually very expensive.

you're right the discs are expensive, which is why i didn't use them. The discs are off a Mercedes.
