What shop do you guys go to for brakes? or do you just internet them then get someone to fit them

[Hanaldo]

Buy them off the internet, fit them yourself.

Like I'll ever let some dodgy mechanic touch my car!! Well, other then me obviously

Tokyo Motorsports are doing mine. They have a great name with the Mitsis.

You can buy shit off the net but where possible I like to use an Aussie supplier, keeps money here in the country. Sure you pay a bit of a premium (most of the time not that much) but if something fucks up I'd rather go down and yell at someone in Perth face to face then some douche via email (it's happened before). I was gonna' buy pads/rotors through Project Mu Australia but it worked out the same price as with their local distributors Racetorque and Tokyo Motorsports, so I went through them. The Project Mu Australia rep was very helpful so it also puts my mind at ease knowing my money is going to people who seemingly practice good business.

But back to the brakes, should be awesome and will be very interesting to see how they go and how they handle long periods of hard braking on the track.

Yeh I generally only buy parts through Australian distributors, way too expensive to get things posted over here. Unique things like my MFD obviously have to come from overseas, but I try to keep things local.

So did the brakes today, AWESOME!

DBA-4000 Slotted rotors front and rear, Project Mu B-SPec pads up front, Project Mu Type-NS at the back with high temp Projetct Mu brake fluid.

They definitely pull up very well.
