    You could try GSL RallySport for info on brakes etc, they're also a Site Sponsor so they may be able to help with a good deal too and they're in QLD.

    Also MPS garage supply some brake components and may be able to help

    MPS Garage Australia

    You could also have a look through this forum for brake info

    I would take it to a mec or a friend that could show you how to do it, If you have no idea on a brake change.
    As for costs on pads, two choices
    Hawk $170
    Mintex $105

    Buy a small tube of never seize to lube the slides Will keep the feel better and stop rattles from your pads

    the process is rather simple and can be done very quickly, but if you are asking that question, then i would recommend that you take the car to get it done professionally
