Just had new pads, discs and a pair of (midrange) tyres on the wife's 14 plate Fiesta for £250.
I'd find a good independent garage if I were you.
I used to do my own brakes, but now I'm time poor it's a job for the garage. Also if something crops up eg seized/corroded piston/caliper the garage is much better equipped at dealing with it.
£132 seems a bit steep for parts, are those genuine bits ?
You can go much cheaper and not notice any difference.

£83 for the front axle on mine on ECP (after discount). Their prices seem to be very similar to ebay prices before discount. A timely thread for me, as mine need doing, though I also need to get some tools for it (but then I also have other jobs I need those for).
i find REALLY cheap disksand pads dont last long at all and can be noisy - some have even needed reshaping to fit in the caliper
I certainly wouldnt buy any that dont even mention who makes them.
At the last set of pads and disks i plumped the extra for the brembo disks and pads and the wife did make comment about how much better the brakes were .... i usually go for pagid as a minimum after i had a set of eichler (ECP own brand) last less than 6 months before the rear face of the front disks delaminated.
