2mm lip!! Brembos start there life at 28mm and should be replaced at 26mm which = 1mm lip. Also from what many people have said on here the warning light only comes on when the pads are very very thin, sound like you are pushing your luck and it wont be long before you dont stop!

Or £200 if you buy the pads from galfer insted of letting galfer sell them to brembo, then brembo selling the to SEAT, then SEAT selling them to you adding £90 to the price, and shop arround between dealers for the discs.

I paid £80 each for the discs from Warrington SEAT and you can get the std. pads from galfer for £40 or up-rated ones for £60.

EDIT:- and change them your self, it's so easy, use the guide on the main SEATCupra.net page.

Pay 50% of that for the parts and do the change yourself as suggested, piece of pi$$ to change them and I'm useless on the tools

Wow this is a job I would not ask the stealer to do. If I couldn't do it myself, would go to a small independant garage for something like that. £450 is a total rip off!
