u must be driving H-line...

Initially I also tot the bosch brake pad sucks big time. Then after it settled in after a few hundred km, its turns out to be ok for normal avg non rev driver.

Those used to 500C brake pad will feel brake pad tak makan langsung, but those used to standard 300C brake pad, the Bosch provides similar performance. Braking not too makan but it quite suited me somehow. Unlike the more makan brake pad, I doubt this brake pad is going to makan the disc plate, so usually no skimming needed even after long time.

Honda City original nissin brake pad provide exactly the same feel.

HOWEVER there are 2 cialat issue with this bosch pad...

1. Produced brake dust like nobody business. Those who like black rim, no need to change rim wan, leave it a couple of weeks, garanteed black as hell...only no shiny.

2. Noise...this brake pad was main suspect in lots of noise issue like creaking when start/stop, turning wheel while idle, etc. Not acceptable. So..if it turns out the brake pad is one of the cause of the darn irritating loud noises...it just have to go.

grounding cable

Anyway, still have lots of brake dust. However, after using ONR to clean the rims found out that the dust don't stick
too much on the rims. Previously, after 1 week the rims will be dark colour already.

Yeap.. When the compressor kicks in u can hear the engine is a lot harsher than normal..

Got free tickets for me? I stay nearby only.. XD

Nope only installed in tire shop.. U have to buy from accessory shop.. Normally those big accessory shop will provide installation for u too..
My paint brand is Alesco leh.. Based on the sticker on the car..

Grounding cable.

Rojak then only our car aircon can be so cool mah.. haha.. The compressor is from Sanden, but the aircon management system is Patco.. its 2 different things.. Like ur car engine is Campro but ECU is Continental..

Allo.. Most of the penangites driver Persona one lah.. U go there see Persona almost can outnumber Myvi..

sorry, noob..what is VS + GC?

soft lk super spongebob...more dirty thn dirty harry...3 days after wash already dirty . Only use to work n bec. after 1 week looks lk my whole rim has been painted black.

VS = voltage stabiliser
GC = grounding cable

Then u can trade ur rims for my pasu bunga rims.. XD.. Its easy to clean and not so dirty cos it has wheel cap..

LOLZ!!!
thn my car would weigh a tonne. no offence guys...
but there's stg that i m curious. Civic 1.5 is fitted with rear disc brake. Persona 1.6 no rear disc brakes. no safety in mind for our proton cars.

Yeap.. The driving feel would totally change.. hehe.. U can ask Xandras.. Now he got pasu bunga rims on.. I bet he is crying terribly..

No bodykit, no spoiler yet.. XD

Hvnt turbocharged yet.. So dont have xtreme power at the moment.

unfortunately .... myvi ....and vios is still more commonly seen in penang... try looking for your car (if u r driving a silver myvi) after work in the parking lot.... hahaha its gonna be challenging

Err..your car already weight more than a tonne without pasu bunga..

I believe you meant City 1.5 got rear disc brake...only pay over 35K more mah...cheap cheap..

btw. H-Line has disc brake lar...thats why I mentioned this pad performance still ok for non rev driver. It produced similar performance like City wan....at least with rear disc brake.

U cant.. Just edit and put some characters in it..

LOL.. Eh I saw some ppl driving KTM X-bow and TriRod on the island wei... Damn cool..

will install UR front strut bar 3 point on tis saturday

No wor.. My 550'C brake pad with 17 inch rims also can lock tyre wan..

Civic 1.5 90k. PE 1.6 H-line 60k. U buy H line sure get disc brake also.

Ok lah.. Not that terrible.. As long my car can jalan can d xD

i was implying on proton's sense of safety. Is luxury considered safety?

K.. Pls return & report to us when ur chassis koyak..

Added on July 12, 2011, 3:50 pmThat's because they're trying to cut cost mah. The Vios J also no rear disc brakes. But yes, I do agree that they should make disc brakes as a standard throughout the range.
