Good day guys

Been a while since I've been here but not sure where else to ask for proper advice.

I'm looking to do the brakes on my wife's 320D F30 as well as either skim the disks or replace the disk as it shudders when braking previously some cheap pads were fitted which I didn't know at the time.

Where can I go to get the parts and have it fitted besides the dealership as those prices are bit steep for me.

I got a quote on febi brake pads front and rear with fitment is R4k

Also contacted star brake and clutch for quote but I don't know how trw pads are and how good are Alfa disks either

Seperate to that I need to service my 2014 320i F30
I'd like to change the spark plugs as well as I've seen most places don't include it in their service prices , I would prefer to upgrade them if possible as the car is going to be modded a bit as it has a down pipe and resonator delete , yes I know the N20s aren't the strongest engines hence I'm not going to go past stage 2 tuning but would like to start adding bolt on's that would help the engine such aluminium/stainless steel charge pipes and boost pipes , DV+ and intercooler over time then do a stage 1 software , which places would be the most reliable and honest to do so ? I'm based in JHB

Thanks
Dex

Alfa disks are perfectly fine for normal driving, they are long lasting as well. For the pads get Ate or ferodo plats from autozone or midas, cant imagine they will be more than R750 a set. Alot of people forget about midas and autozone yet they are consistently cheaper than both goldwagen and specialist shops.

If you dont have the tools to change them your local hi-q / supaquick should be around the 6/7 hundred mark.

Do you have the normal or M Performance brakes? I have Febi front discs for M Performance brakes which I had bought for my F30 that has since been sold. Let me know if you're interested.
