Honda service centre told me that to change the Honda City front and rear disc brake pads, the cost plus installation is around Rm 680++. Wah ...quite expenses!! Can i change it at other workshop like Castrol Service Center? Because they told me that they use brand Bosch brake pads and the cost plus installation just around RM 200++.So big difference the price.Is it safe to use the Bosch brand ? Other than Bosch, any others brand to recommend ?

680 is overkill!
most to most also 300 ...if bosh brake pad, should be cheaper. i was quoted about 80 ringgit for rear and 130 for front pair

Wah siao! They use Endless or Brembo pads ah?

ok la thing like wear & tear part will not have warranty .... but if something goes wrong from brake honda sc will responsible...

u sure not change brake rotor?

Yea Honda original brake pads are damn blardy expensive...

Just change outside,you can try pumatec,not bad lah so far i am using it .No problems ...

Front RM 160,Rear RM 120

try bendix , vttr

wtf wei..honda service center quote tht price really overkill..
jus a brake pad not a disc rotor..
brembo meh

UMW also quoted me this price rm680 when wanna change the brake pads for the front and rear for camry, including installation fees.

i used to own a city last time..
go do outside is better.. honda too overpriced..
my GTI stock comes with bosch brake pads...

for city u can use brands like runstop , pumatec etc..

Go Honda stockist n get yr brake pad at around RM 100++ n ask any mechanic to change at RM 25 per pair! Honda will charge you RM 330 per pair! Even the guy in Honda service center advise me to change outside!

outside have alot of better and cheaper aftermarket brake pad
search around LYN...u should get a cheap one

for brake pad, dont use ori Honda la..

aftermarket one is better..

original honda brake pads are nissin if not mistaken

the ori brake pads for honda city really sux....when the tiny brakes get hot i always cant brake in time and end up going over the bump on a faster speed than intended....but i think its my driving also la

changed to ferodo before, once kakimotor selling RM80 promotion....felt so much better....

ferodo is good but eats the brake disk like hell..

Kancil's brake pad(front) RM68 only...hehehe.....

yes, made by Nissin..

but u need to beware coz Nissin also got lower grade version with lower price..
this cheap Nissin is really dont perform well..

worst brake pad u can buy is those with alot of dust. every 2-3 days need to clean rims else look like crap

I use pumatec front n rear. so much more better than stock. Just beware not to use those super grippy ones. your rotors get worn out faster

Can i find the Honda Genuine Parts Nissin brake pads at others spare part shops? So just ask my mechanic help me install it ...Or just replace it at Castrol Service Centre and using Bosch branch only ?

try to get better brand brake pads. Brake is one of the most important component in your car as it means life and death in some situation. Don't try to save money on that.

Wow still cheap eh brake pads during 2011, i ask sc honda sg tiram front and rear almost 1k now..front 500++ and rear 400++

Brake pads is the easiest job after oil change to do at home

Honda brake pads are actually good for daily average usage. Low brake dust, quiet braking.

For once I've tried Brembo and those pads are shitty. It will give out an annoying sound when the car is nearing to halt. After few months, changed back to Honda pads and the sound went away for good.

i was quoted yesterday for rm180 per rear pair, outside SC. labour not sure. but they just charged me rm20 for both rear wheel bearing

SC prices are always a rip off! For that price I can get high performance 550 degree Project Mu Japan street pads, surely much better performance than std original pads! Original pads should be just around rm100-200.

Yeah Honda charge almost 1k for brake pad. Proton too for select model in specific Inspira. They give you Akebono pads which is expected to be expensive.

Change outside le. Less than 500. Mine on TRW D-TEC.

Akebono is used by many cars as normal original pads. Same case with Advics from Japan for example. At most, they cost probably just over rm200, no where near rm400-500. Those costing rm400 or above are usually higher performance aftermarket street pads that can handle higher temperature with less fading, for example those from Project Mu Japan, Endless, EBC, etc2.

TRW is China brake pad hence very cheap (can get below rm100 per pair), seems decent but very dusty.

Scam
Honda 3s will never reveal the real brans, everything is Honda brand even on from other brands.

I'm using Fuji brakes which OEM to Honda Japan, price under 150 for front, used to be 90 but inflation due to weak ringgit and over the years I guess.

Hehe 200 is the starting price for performance pads
300 should be 500deg
400 should be 800deg

Unless a Japanese supercar like GTR or NSX one wouldn't really need to spend above 500 for pads

Mine quoted for rm690 for front brake pad only by honda sc. honda accord. That after im complaining that my brake disc give some judder problem, claim warranty for skimming the disc. Now still using the old brake pad and will need to replace it by next service.

Can anyone share contact for brake pad seller/shop. Even the honda sc tech advice me to change outside for brake pad.

PH AUTO at Seapark PJ.just bought TRW DTEC for Rm95....lowyat seller @RM130

Where is honda stockist?

Hingan Jalan Pudu quoted me rm400 for city 2014 front brake pads (genuine Honda-Nissin). OEM Nissin RM160 only

i bought genuine honda civic fd front brake pad from HINGAN last month. Cost me RM320.

get NiBK brake pads; good braking performance + low dust compared to TRW brake pads.

got it from a singaporean website, legit.

https://www.fitinpart.sg/

1k . But what car bro?.

My brother just changed brake pads 3 months ago at Kah Motor. Rm750, Honda Insight 2011. Never changed since buy new 6 years ago. Lol.

Ya, price maybe cut throat, But so convenience la since can complete asap.

But if got excess time, can buy sendiri outside and ask any workshop or tyre workshop pasang. Way more cheaper bro. Can easily got half than that. Lol.

But it always up to ppl bro. I dont even want to said ppl change parts at service centre is stupid since I see maybe there are too busy with their time and want to finish everything in one day.

And ya, I service my city at both Ban Lee Hin and Kah Motor. Some parts which I feels too expensive, I ask them dont tukar for me, I outsourced and pasang luar. Lol.

I think, both same la, charge a bit premium compare to outside, but I still service at Honda sc since they service according to schedule.

Outside some workshop oni change engine oil, oil filter which made me even worried .

got quoted at similar price for accord 2015 brake pad replacement. but kind cut-throat price imho. since it belong to wear & tear parts, which is no warranty

I changed outside they claim Honda genuine part. I checked the box looks genuine but it is written for honda city/ jazz/ bla bla bla
. Im driving insight too.. Rm280 for front. OEM RM180

I have just bought original honda brake pads at hingan auto pudu. Rm400 for honda city made from thailand. But rm350 for jazz made from taiwan if not mistaken. Both can fit in my honda city 2014 the counter guy told me. So i took the jazz one.

City model yr 2013 here. SC quoted RM500 for front brake pad. 1st reaction is that it's costly. Plan to check other workshop for price comparison.

I just replaced mine.. front and rear...around rm900 ...

Actually low dust or not doesn't really matter, as u gonna wash car once a month at least. Or twice a month... Lol

i just changed my front brake paid also...Bendix...anyone can confirm the current market price for Bendix brake pad? just trying to know if the car workshop got potong me kao kao or not....

Bendix which model? General ct or metal king?

oh my goodness, i don't know, basically i just accept what the shop installed for me...

Anyway for both of the models you quoted, what is the estimated selling price? i think still a good reference for me.

thanks!

i bought an extra set of Honda OE Brake Pad a while back,
sold off my car and now wanted to let go the brake pad.

Honda Geniune Brake Pad for City GM6, Made in Japan

any takers?

is your honda city still under warranty TS?

if not, then do outside cheaper.

but if under warranty, can we still use 3rd party or do outside? will it temper with Honda warranty?

How much bro? For gm6 right

Rm130 from shopee for metal king. Rm20 workmanship to install.

This post has been edited by cempedaklife: Mar 2 2018, 09:59 PM

I tried to find in Penang Island for Bendix but failed to find one (via google).
The only alternative can go for is Bosch. Is it good?

general ct should be less than RM150 (parts only) and bendix metal king around RM150 (parts)

You can buy bendix online, on shopee.
By the way, the brake dust seems to be improved, after two months or so for me

Bro,
Where do you get these Fuji brakes pads?

I managd to get Metal King Titanium for rm220 with installation in Penang. Already 1 week and there have squeezing sound when brake. Should I worry?

p/s: the price too good to be true.

I'm no expert. But mine did the same. Usually its silent but when it rains or after car wash (wet), the sound is more prominent.

But my previous stock pad also like that, just not that loud though.

pm for details

Could always buy the pads from lazada or a part shop and do them yourself. After you take off the wheel should only be 1-2 bolts and either squeeze down the brake piston or twist it down. (haven't looked up which it is for a Honda city. )

Disk break pads should only take like 10-15 mins per wheel once you have the wheel off.

Drums are a whole other story. Depending on the car.

Hi guys..
i am driving honda city 2010, ivtec..
looking for front brake pads..
anybody has preferable seller?
thank you in advance...

Use akebono pads is good enough.

Actually, usually how long does a brake pad last?

Depend on your driving style. I had my pads on my P1 from beginning till now 140k km still looking good without much wear and tear.

Mechanic and I had it removed to confirm it is in good condition and both are stunned it is still gooding.

My stocks on city last about 90k which is good, but now that I've changed to after market, not sure if they last that long

I driving Honda City 2014 model. Honda Service Centre told me front brake pad cost RM594. I'm shock when my friend told me usually cost around RM150 only.

If I change it outside, will it void my car warranty?

my 6 years old City at mileage 80K KM, the honda service centre foreman said still ok, no need to change.
I drive sometimes fast sometime follow speed limit.

Please avoid bendix. Dirty and noisy as hell.
I'm gonna try akebono next. But this brake pad I use 1 year only. Abit sien to change so soon.

By the way. I do not know what went wrong, but my brake seems to produce some noise. Like those you always hear on old cars and motorcycle braking.

Any ideas? Brake pad for all changed more that 1 year but less than 2 years. Front bendix, back dunno as get from workshop.

Did you get Bendix metal king? Then Yup, it's dusty and noisy. The bendix general CTs are better in my opinion. Brake dust takes a while to form on the wheels and it's silent.

Yes metal King. But I thought this is better than general CT?

Sorry, I meant bendix CTs are better in terms of quietness and noise. Brake feel wise, i can't tell the difference between these and my originals.

Get ceramic brakepads if you can. It is more expensive but it produce less dust and last longer. I am looking at getting TRW Dtec. Seems like lots of positive review from users.

I'm getting another new pair of trw dtec for my city gm6 soon
my current pair last me for 45k km ...worth the money

I just changed both my front brake disc and brake pad of my Honda city Gm6. The new brake disc is from Honda and the brake pad is from trw dtec. When driving in low speeds and applying abit of brake (not fully), i can hear a fine metal screeching sound at the front right side. I have been driving a few days and the sound is still there. Is this normal?

not sure if the installer done it correctly.by right if both are new , shouldn't have that sound . maybe go back to the installer and ask him to check.

I only heard the screeching soon when my brake disc is uneven . not going to change my brake disc if it didnt affect my braking distance and safety

btw , ur trw dtec part no. is GDB3375DT OR GDB7786DT?



This post has been edited by ^Ware^wolf: Apr 25 2019, 08:51 PM

Mine is GDB7786DT.

come with red plate ?

managed to get Rm85 from PH II at PJ Uptown. will go collect frm the spare part shop tomorrow evening .

same price with my 1st purchase which was 2yrs ago ...in fact it's cheaper

This post has been edited by ^Ware^wolf: Apr 25 2019, 09:26 PM

Do u mean the red plate with the trw wording on it?
I also bought mine at PH auto seapark for rm90.

Actually my brake is working fine but just the screeching sound is kinda annoying and i afraid it will damage my new Honda brake disc. I probably will get it check as u advised. Thanks!

yes , that red plate ... not convenient to go ph auto seapark nowadays as I didnt work in PJ anymore ....

Yes, it comes with the red plates.

cool then . that's the best part with TRW DTEC . better stopping power , cheap price and cool red plate !

3375 is thicker by 0.5mm ...lol ...

This post has been edited by ^Ware^wolf: Apr 26 2019, 10:06 AM

I just installed my trw dtec today . it comes with only 2 brakepad pin.urs also same ?

2 brakepad pin? Whats tat?

there are 2 brakepad silver plate and 2 brakepad pin in the packaging right? no ?

Actually i didn't check the box content. I just pass the brake pad box to the foreman and collect the car after a while.

I never done that . all the time I watch them when they doing it . the mechanic told me by right it should have 4 brakepad pin to secure left and right brakepad . but by the time I open the box I only saw 2 pin . but it wont affect the safety and the usage .

I m going to check my myvi dtec and see if it's got 2 pin as well only

bloodly hell, if only i read this before saying yes to sc.. just got a call from honda sc, say my civic front brake pad kong d, need to be replaced, he quoted me RM680, i buta buta say yes.

SC price for brake pads is expensive. My Honda City pads changed at SC cost around RM480.

now we all take note lor, those wear and tear items which can be changed outside, just do it outside.
my absorber is failing soon, defnitely not going back sc to change it if i managed to get it cheaper outside

RM680 is really an absurd price to pay given that brake pad materials are cheap and the labour to install it is relatively easy

My trw brakepad still squeak on my Honda city and it has scratched my newly bought brake disc rotor. Hingan quote me rm440 for the front brake pads and Jyunsei quote me rm380. So i bought from Jyunsei and had to skim my disc rotor. So far no sound. Probably will stick with original brake pads, zzz..

Skim disc rotor means reducing the thickness. Are the new disc rotors same thickness as the ori rotors? If not that might explain the scratch.

I bought both Honda front disc rotor from Hingan. I didn't measure it though. But the metal screeching sound occur on the front disc rotor side and it lasted for three weeks. Before i changed the brakepads to ori, i had to skim my newly front disc rotor coz it was heavily scratched by the trw brakepad. I had no luck with trw coz others dont seems to have this problem. After switch to original honda brake pads and skim my Honda front disc rotor, now no more metal screeching sound.

This post has been edited by lil_flank: May 8 2019, 02:57 PM

In that case want to sell the trw brake pads to me? Are those the dtec or atec? Let me try it on my car.

This post has been edited by abubin: May 8 2019, 04:44 PM

You can actually get Nissin pads. They are OEM brake manufacturer for Honda.

Mine is Trw dtec. My wife sent to a car workshop to installed the brake pads. She didn't take the old brake pads.

Thanks for the info. Do u know where to buy original Nissin brake pads for Honda city?

Many spare parts shops are selling this brand. Bay Brothers at PJ Section 8 do sell them.

Ok, thanks!
