Default Replacement Brake Bits

Hi all,

My '02 LR Zetec went in for its 45,000km service today... and I was told within the next 10,000km i will need all 4 brake pads and the front rotors replaced... now i dread to think what the cost of getting the parts would be through ford, Let alone the labour, But my question to the guys who have LR Focii is this;
Is there a better and cheaper aftermarket alternative to the Factory brake rotor and brake bad package?

Now in all honesty, im not after outright performance, But i do like a solid brake pedal ...

I was also told i will need new tyres in 7,000km (Dad works with Bridgestone so thats not a worry - Getting Grid III's), and there is potentially a small coolant leak in there somewhere as well (They found a trace somewhere). Getting expensive....

Any further information would be great.

Cheers
Marty

(Oh, I have a mate that works at KTAS, so hopefully i can get him to do the work for me. He would be the most pedantic person i have ever seen work on a vehicle, his or someone elses!)
