   For my car I used a mintex brake box. For my old quicky, was like 28 quid pads and disks.
   
   How long they would last would depend on how hard you used them. Same with changing them. I assume it's for front brakes you're talking about and not the rears, if you're not talking abouta vtr/s?

   They are very easy to change yourself. You will find it much more rewarding (and feel the difference in your bank account) doing it yourself.
   
   Buy a hanes manual, take your time and its a very easy job to do
