quite cheap, what the price for original from proton?

Ok wat about 500.. EA's cross drilled slotted with RS pads also RM 600 already.. But the thing is there're not much review yet about the S-brand wan...

If i make 5k a month then ok lo... Now have to lama lama jadi bukit lo. lol

How to solve the screeching sound
will change another set solve the problem?

coz just now google around normally ppl skim the rotor if the braking session cause the steering to vibrate.

Then another solve it by applying grease at the back of the pad. In between the caliper and the pad

Another one solve it by taking out the brake pad and caliper and clean it with pressure blower and put it back then problem solve.

Many solutions wan lah, but I think the problem is with the brake calipers themselves. Design fault. Because it seems that no matter what brake pads are used (stock, MKT, RS), the screeching sound still happens.. But for me RS never did screeched..

I thought that screeching sounds is part of the brake mechanism isn't it? It is used as an indicator for which u have to change your pads at certain level of thickness.. It is actually a tiny clip located at the calliper, when the pads get thinner, these clips will rub with the rotor and produce screeching sounds.. It can be solve by either removing the clip it self or simply by just changing your pads..

I asked EA b4, RS 1st time use will screech, 2nd pad onward no more sound.

Added on September 4, 2011, 12:55 pm it's a new pad i think run around 5k plus. Can it be during the installation the guy never put back properly?

Yes, true that, but the brake pads are new when it started screeching, when the pads still bite, and bites hard.

Hmmm.... workshop session any friendly mechanic to recommend?

Go tyre shop lo..

Going to the shop who change it for me lo... damn hungry... Hope they can solve the mystery

In any way, the clips is independently hanged between the calliper and the pads.. There might be in some cases the it was wrongly mounted.. Maybe can try your luck by checking on it first..

Could be. Someone should try then give some feedback here..

Added on September 4, 2011, 1:07 pmMINI TT v5.5
Date: 16th September 2011
Time: 8pm onwards.
Meetup Place: Parking in front of Pappa Rich Rampai Business Court.

Guys, it's been a while since we had a proper TT (last PROPER TT that we had was Mega TT V5.0 on the 14th May 2011 at Kayu Nasi Kandar, Aman Suria.), so I thought it might be a good idea to organize another TT on the 16th of September. It's a Friday and a public holiday, shouldn't be much of a problem for members to attend if they really want to and have the heart to do so.

What I meant by a proper TT? To be honest, we've had dozens of TTs and mini TTs, but new members rarely show up. It's as if their existence is purely fictional and they live only in the thread. The aim of this TT is to meet new members, share more knowledge about our dear Personas and have fun. Do not be intimidated by the use of English in this thread as we're a multi-racial community that speaks all sorts of language & dialects during TTs. (English, Malay, Cantonese, Hokkien, Mandarin, you name it.. I can speak Russian as well if you want me to. )

What are we going to do during the TT? Well the plan is actually to meet up at the parking lot by 8PM, and then we'll drive and bring our TT to Genting Highlands. Expecting around 6-10 members to join this TT, but if it's less than that it's fine also.

Please RSVP for those who are coming!!

Attendees:

1. xandras
2. ZengTMM
3. unknownhammie
4. zapdos9
5. K.Lee

New members are welcomed with open arms!!
