Best place in Brisbane for brake components?
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
