Good Day everyone,
I recently bought a new Saga Aeroback 1.3L. I am usually a laid back driver but few days back had to drive the car at around 120Km/Hr with a few stops from high speed. The car performed well but then on my fourth stop the car refused to stop for a U-Turn and I had to take it doing 40 something, which was not amusing to say the least . Allowed the brakes to cool down a bit and did not drive fast after that.
I suspect that it is a brake fade issue, anyone experience something similar? I was thinking of changing the pads to something more resilient to higher temp. The car has only 3.5K Km on it and still is under warranty so I don't want to perform any warranty voiding mods at the moment.

maybe the brake pad was not break in properly.. u may try RS 450c brake pad for saga.. very good brake even always brake when downhill genting still can tahan

Hey thanks for that. any link for that paticular iterm? By the way I don't want anything too aggressive that may eat my discs or produce too much dust.

original saga disc rotor is solid disc... vr easily prone to overheating due to bad heat dissipation...

my suggestion, change to this one..

itu twin pot ye?

u may contact maddriver from this forum.. btw, i've been using it for quite long time on my wira and my disc is still good after 2 terms of usage.. dust wise not sure


all saga also solid ah? including those lmst?


i dont think it is.. maybe is ventilated rotor

single pot jer... brek dari mitsu rvr...


yeap... all saga solid rotor... not ventilated..

I would rekomen dis type too...


Poison2

RVR is PnP... VR4 must mod abit only @ da knuckle... Mirage n Perdana brakes I m not sure...

But there r a few 4 Sagas

wah...means saga/iswara/lmst also solid disc brakes???...

yes..

Saga/Iswara/Aeroback/UK spec/LMSS/LMST all same only... facelift looks diffrnt... Aeroback got short butt

RVR is PNP? then i can put this on my Iswara rear brake without modifying anything?

how about the price with installation?

Front n rear brakes r not da same ler... Dis type is 4 front disc only... Rear must mod 2 fit in... Perdana n Mirage can use on Saga/Iswara as rear disc but not PnP

since u dun wanna do any warranty voiding mods yet....

id recommend the RS 450C pads from maddriver as well.


but id also recommend getting some cold air intake hoses and pointing them to towards ur disc to help cool them down and avoid more brake fade. only thing is..i dunno if this is gonna make the discs/pads too cold later on.


think id do the hoses first... and see how it goes...

pads later. performance pads usually dont perform very well when theyre cold.

interesting to know that last bit. Would be taking it to the SC as they want to check it out apparently they don't believe it is brake fade issue.
I may order the RS 450C only problem is they are in My and I am in Pk
by the way which Mitsu model should I search under for the pads/ ventilated discs. It would be easier to get performance stuff by using Mitsu model.

ronzai say his uk spec iswara uses ventilated disc wor...


the only rear disc brake pnp into saga iswara is from mirage c62...

Later I go n check....

thanks bro cata,i thought RvR can pNp into rear.

only front oni.didnt think want to change front one.

thinking of installing disc brake at back for more safety.

nola... rvr plug n play to the front... not rear... rear pnp ones only from mirage c62....

rear disc brakes dont play a major role in slow speed braking... u can only feel its benefits when slowing down from speeds exceed 130-140kmh... if u alwiz travel around town below 80kmh, jz maintain ur drum brakes can d... upgrade to twin layer servo and good brake pads can d...

UK spec oso normal soleed disc wor...

Japan Specs only ventilated disc wit twin pot calipers....
