Looking to change front and rear brake discs and pads on my a3 2.0 litre TDI 16 v - 2006, my service book states car uses pr code 1ZE (288mm) For front and PR 1KD For rear (253mm) , found an excellent price for mintex box sets , total price £89.50 including delivery, cross checked on mintex site which says front pads mdb2604, rear pads mdb1377, and front discs mdc1638 and rear discs mdc1640, I contacted the supplier and he said front codes look right but rear uses two styles of pads so a bit confusing, any thoughts on this
Brake discs and pads confusion

For some reason can't put link up, the company is quality.car.parts on ebay, £51.50 for 2x front discs and pads and £38 for 2 x rear discs and pads inc delivery all Mintex.
The unipart discs upfront are brilliant. Think it's cos I'm using oe pads with them. Still surprised I got them for that price. The paint on them is holding up well as well
Cool. No lipping or rust? In that case might as well pick up a fresh set when I paint the calipers.
Won't get a lip until the disc is worn. Won't be worn for many 1000s of miles.
No rust as I painted the hubs and edges before I fit them.
The main issue is warping with cheap discs, and in the few thousand miles I've had them they haven't warped, so good so far
