Huw Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 just a quick flog for: Better Brakes, cheltenham great bunch down there, knows what he's talking about and reasonably priced. never had a problem with them (they supplied all parts for rear disk conversion, clutch and are doing lines now) They're down near DFO Quote
matt drago Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Hey Huw, What sort of price did they charge for the parts for the rear brake conversion? I've gotten prices ni the order of $1200 for everything, but that's from a place in QLD. Cheers, Matt Quote
Huw Posted June 8, 2005 Author Posted June 8, 2005 from memory (i got trade b/c went through zworx for half of the stuff) the disks were around $50 each (list 100+) -rear calipers (can't remember sorry, may have got from Zworx) (but have discovered Better Brakes has new ones (skyline calipers)) and kits to repair old ones (or they can repair for you (they sell seal kits pretty cheap but after doing it myself i'd pay them to do them for you). -pads were next to nothing, -steel braided lines about $25 each (matched to samples). All i had to do is machine my old backing plate to fit on. and drill some new mount holes. So it's not sold in a kit form but if u know what you want it works out a lot less than $1200. (is that z workshop brissie?) I reckon all up it's cost me (just for rear brakes) around $200 (but calipers may add a bit) I can't tell you how well it works cause I'm not rolling yet. the guy who runs the place seems to know his stuff well too. I'll try and put a pic or too up once i have my brakes bled tomorrow evening (got an exam in the morning ($%%@!!! takes all my time from car :-) ) hope that helps Huw Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted January 21, 2008 Moderators Posted January 21, 2008 Just another bit of positive feedback for Better Brakes in Cheltenham. Just recently got my rear R31 calipers and some braided lines made up for $180. Its so much easier to just hand in the old ones, get them reco'd and then just bolt them on, bleed and drive away! Also worked out a way to hook up the handbrake cable..He is always good for some advice, as long as you have spent some $$$ or purchased something.
