race brakes are a good shop
also specialized brake and clutch at mount druitt
but why would u want to goto a cheap place to get yr brakes done
isnt that like driving without brake fluid
shop around and get qoutes for good brakes
dont go too cheap
or u might run into the car infront

Thats the website(obviously)  You will have to ring them and ask for the phone number for office closest to you as they normally trade under another name. In Brisbane, Race Brakes trades as The Brock Shop.

Ok, I've called race brakes and the other one in moorebank.
Moorebank one wouldn't do my job, maybe it's too small a job.
Race brakes charged me $520! sounds alot compare to the job they did to joyride in moorebank.
Still waiting for email reply from Gav sport.

520 is 80 bucks cheaper than what i was charged.
the shop in moorebank usually build race cars and such, i must have been lucky when they did it for me
