That seems to be the average rate for brakes. I pay about R500 for all shoes rebonded and drums skimmed in Cape Town.

Che k this out,.....our version of an "abarth exhaust",.........makes it sound as if we are packing heavy !
Soon we will attempt a version of a sebring style tip onto a std exhaust I think,.......bends is still a challenge
