You serious just spoke to my ford dealership here and its was £56 each discs for front then rear were £32 and brake pads just front £52 so add it up plus labour so around £260 for parts + labour  that is well cheap £175 is that all around brake discs and pads

Be aware that Ford offers both the original Ford branded brake parts and the Motorcraft branded brake parts.

The original Ford branded brake parts are produced by ATE. ATE is the supplier of the braking system of most Ford models. These parts do often have both a Ford and an ATE logo.

The Motorcraft branded braking parts are offered by Ford as a cheaper alternative for the Ford branded brake parts. Motorcraft brake parts are usually rebranded Bosch brake parts.

 

Personally I would use original (ATE) brake parts or better quality aftermarket brake parts. Personally I am not a fan of Motorcraft/Bosch brake parts. Motorcraft/Bosch brake pads are made of a pretty hard compound which is known to cause sqealing.

On my previous Focus MK2 I installed Brembo brake discs combined with Textar brake pads. In my opinion this is a perfect combination. Much more braking force than the stock brakes and a lot less brake dust on the wheels. On my current Focus MK3 with the stock (ATE) brakes the brake dust is a serious issue. Despite my car has only done 23.000 KM I am currently considering to replace all brake discs and pads.

Pagid are textar is well I was reading somewhere on internet

Textar brake pads are indeed made by the same manufacturer which also produces Pagid, Mintex and Eicher brake pads. However each of these brands have their own products with different specifications and characteristics. Textar and Pagid brake pads are made at the same factory but are in fact not the same product.
