Hi all,

I want to do front pads and rotors and rear drums and shoes on the L Bug and I am just wondering what the best place is to get all of it in one go. Does anyone sell a front and rear kit that is good quality?

Am I best off with just going to Mick Motors or are there some brake shops out there that sell some better quality products? I don't need performance gear as it's just a weekend driver, but I don't want to skimp either and run into disasters or dramas.

Thanks 🙂

IMO the biggest thing is to get quality brands, preferably German, I've seen some junk rotors and drums from companies mentioned above

Cheers Matty, sometimes you've got to look a bit further for the good stuff.
