I am surprised that any decent aftermarket disc would have an issues with even spirited driving on our congested roads , track days possibly but not commuting on public roads.
MB Grangemouth are Arnold Clark so they can deliver them to your closest AC dealership.
I got my CLS front discs + pads from Grangemouth and picked them up from AC Renault in Hillington.
IIRC the discounted OEM price was similar to ECP for their discs and pads so it was a no brainer to go for the MB ones.

ECP quote £92 (ea) + vat for Pagid and £57 (ea) + vat for Eicher discs so, I assume that the Pagid discs are the better quality units.
Delphi to my knowledge, have a better reputation than either of these units/manufacturers and sell at a trade price of £111 (ea) + vat.
At staff discount prices I paid considerably less than the Eicher units for the Delphi items.
I notice that ECP are advertising Brembo units at £98 (ea) + vat, a well known quality brand. I should be able to get those through work I think and, at a substancially reduced price however, no one has mentioned using them before and I'd prefer to get a recommendation from a club member before using the brand.
As I have mentioned before I am a tight git when it comes to spending my money however, I do like to buy good quality items. I don't think that MB will come close to the staff discount price, hence the reason why I was trying to find out the manufacturer of the MB discs, or go with a strong recommendation from a club member. I can then track down said recommended items at work and get a quote to find the best deal.
