Default front discs

I'm gonna need some new front discs for my 90K service. How can I get these without paying main dealer prices. is there a good supplier anyone knows of.?
(I've got a MY 2003).

Am happy to go with the Honda OEM discs but is there any point in upgrading them in a way that wont cause me huge expense. ? if I change the fronts to something with more stopping power should I change the rears too ?

EBC or a set of blanks from brakes international are popular choices.

Investing in a good brake pad will make more of a difference than a fancy set of discs.

Feredo DS2500 and Porterfield are popular choices
then EBC red's and Mintex

I put DBA4000 discs on the front with Ferodo DS2500 pads just before Euromeet. I couldn't believe the difference that this set up made. Even after the hardest of down hill driving through the Alps on the friday following the German crew, I only had slight brake fade once and only for a second.

How long are people getting out of a set of discs?? Just wondering as I'm still on the originals (Ithink) with 52k miles on the clock. I'm thinking it maybe time for new ones. I think its still on original rear pads too.

Looking around for discs and pads at the moment, I've came across these
Ebay link

I'm basically after something the equivalent to standard brakes. I don't track the car and am quite light on the brakes. These seem to be far to cheap, which normally means they're rubbish. Just wondered if any of you's have tried these or know of any reasonably priced standard brakes.

BI discs and standard Honda pads (they're pretty cheap and very good for road work).
