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.

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.

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.

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.

u skim your disc rotor at outside workshop? around how much?
there is some lubricant comes with the brake pad, not sure outside workshop know how to use it

Most probably that's anti-seize. It's to prevent rust to stick on to the brake pads and causing uneven movement on the brake pads. So far I have seen most workshop does not use anti-seize.
