I bought my front discs from Autodoc who were the cheapest for ATE at the time but I was buying 316mm discs as part of an upgrade.
Delivery was one week but I was in no rush and they combined postage for the handbrake shoes and springs.
My standard sized ATE rear discs were just £35 for the pair from an eBay seller.

The biggest bargain were the ATE handbrake cables which were £10 each delivered from Germany through Amazon. My guess is that they were priced incorrectly but such is Amazon, the seller had to honour the order and they must surely have lost money. You take the wins when you get them though.

Often overlooked is the small cable with the double hook that fits to the handbrake lever and the main cables attach to.
Mine was frayed and stretched so was replaced also at around £7 from Amazon.

Genuine Volvo discs are still very affordable and delivered much quicker than Autodoc if you use one of the many main dealers with eBay shops and as always, Vida makes part number matching a breeze as you can search using the genuine number.

ATE's excellent parts catalogue is useful too to obtain their part numbers then search eBay, Amazon etc. using those numbers instead.
