Brake Disks (rotors) and Pads

Just been told by the dealership that I need new brake pads and disks (rotors) all round. Thats on my Boxster S 2002.

They have yet to tell me the price, but:

a) Can I get them fitted cheaper in the UK anywhere?

b) If I buy the parts only, how easy are they to fit myself?

I can get the parts for about £550 from www.porscheshop.co.uk, but I've never fitted disks or pads on any car before. How hard can it be though?

By the way, they also told me that the front control arms need replacing both sides because the bushes are worn. I'm told you can't get the bushes alone, you have to buy the whole arm at £154.00 each plus 17.5% VAT.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Porsche extended warranty is worth having, as nothing seems to be covered! This car is starting to cost me a fortune.
