Default Ap racing brakes. Refurb

Time has come to sort my brakes out. First up new discs front and back . Where is the best value to get new discs at the moment ?
Also I have the callipers off the car and I plan to have them powder coated. What prep should I do before hand i.e. Replacing the seals before or after? And how should I clean the callipers before powder coating them can they be dipped in the acid that's used for cleaning up wheels ?

Anyone changed their own seals and dust boots on their brakes just watched a really good vid on YouTube showing how to do it looks straight forward enough.
Speedys garage how to rebuild brake calipers is where you will find it .
