Thanks Gambit!

I am only going to replace the fronts for now, will this matter having the standards on the back? or should i change them all with the same?

nah it wont make a difference. rears only make up about 20% of the total braking force anyhow. just keep std pads & disc's on the rears

Cheers mate :)

I am hoping that one of the existing disc's is warped, and that is the cause of the juderness when i come to a stop :) if not it cost more :) lol

Am 3000 miles into a set of GSF front discs on my 8V- all seems well so far.  Last set were VAG and I haven't noticed any difference yet.  Am using the standard Pagid front pads.

I ended up just getting the stadard discs and pads - £36ish for the two sets of discs and pads, not bad :)

Any pointors on changing these, things to look out for?

also is this a good time to do the wheel bearings? i mean as i am down there is it an easy job?

cheers
