guys, can recommend me which SC besides puchong and SK better? I dont mind going far, heard that SC in Shah Alam quite good as their mechanic is more experience, is that true? May I know what is the SC name?

Really really appreciate if any owner here can give me some suggestion.

Many thanks

Well, the one in Shah Alam is the Center Of Excellence.

Unlike my fren who wanted to claim his IAFM and waited 3 days, I got mine on the spot and its covered under warranty.

ya i recalled you told me so,but my friend poison me saying change rear to disc better,may be as you said i should change my brake pads and see the difference,more cheaper.bro do you mean change to sports kind of brake pads? or any recommendation.
*
if u want braking capability....change front brake pad already enough
changing the rear drum brake to disc brake is for peace of mind
becuz the handbrake not makan, drum brake makan 1 side..etc problem
and i'm not really sure when to service the drum brake or need service or not
if change to disc brake...it's simpler to manage and no such problem from drum brake stated above

Well, Proton sells their cars to cover their R&D costs, then what about Perodua? Hmm

Less dust means eat into rotor more, and vice versa.

but they have to think abt aftersales also
if everyone also go back SC and claim rear brake problem
that's a big cost there...lol
install disc brake...they won't even come back

p2 one is all profit...they dn't even have R&D...all rebadge
at start already profit...somemore the price is more expensive than car that is designed from scratch

Long story, as I have posted here earlier :

QUOTE(jerrymouse @ Jun 13 2011, 02:57 PM)
Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for all the fast reply..let me explain in more detail about the 2 problem I face on my car.
For the vibrating issue, it only occur recently whereby when I rev my car up to 4k, the engine sound is not as fine as b4 and my pedal can feel the vibration even I m wearing sport shoes, below rpm 3k there is no such vibrating problem.

2nd problem is kind of hard to explain here, all I can say is the sound ONLY appear when low speed, 10km/h - 20km/h and the sound only appear on the right bottom part of the car..everytime when u go accross holes or those patched-up "longkang" on the road,there is sound like 2 metal bar hitting to each other and at the same time my steering wheel can feel the metal bar hitting below the tyre part and thus causing "jerking" or vibration. This phenomena is more obvious when my car steer to the right and at the same time go over holes or sharp object. I send to 3 SC in puchong for several time and everytime they tested my car they drive around 60-80km/h and say " Eh tak ada problem ah" =.= padahal I told them to slow down at the first place. At the end, all 3 SC give me the same answer, "Tat sound is from suspension/absorber there memang like tat "keras" one, cant do anything one, spray spray WD40 and give me the car key back"

NEed some pro sifu here plz and sorry for the long explanation =(

OEMs are a compromise between functionality & cost. More inclined towards affordability for the common Msian car owner.

Moreover most BLMs are not modded for Sports use. Not worth gping for high end stuff. True?

Feel if wanna replace, juz go for a tad higher quality stuff shld b good enuf.

the 2nd prob u posted is definitely the absorber
the abs is too soft which give u a comfortable drive...so got those metal sound
if u change to harder abs...it won't have such prob but not as comfortable as the original abs
