The best brake pads out there are using ceramic based pads. It is quieter, less dust when use and also smoother and more consistent braking feel. I think our OEM pads are from low-metallic based pads. I could be wrong though.

Ferodo, Brembo, Endless to name a few. I personally use Ferodo Zero for my Gen-2 and it is awesome.

Bro, let me know if u can find any 3rd party brake pad, i prefer Bendix ceramic if possible becos my vios using Bendix ceramic n it really bite very2 well.

road problem or balancing problem kua...

Problem is when slow down to 90-100km/h it's ok. Maybe it's the balancing problem.

balancing problem...100kmj and lower,normal balancing is enough...if vibrate@shacking at high speed,can consider about high speed balancing...assume that ur rims is ok..no dent at all...if got dent,this problem can happen...sure vibrate..not just ur steering....hehe....
*
Maybe i send for wheel rotation n balancing, is it a good ideal. Secondly my over crank starter sound only happen when the engine is cool. Any side effect if i delay to send to sc for checking.

The sound u mention i did complain to the sc during my 1st service, the sc told me its normal n even let me test the test car n same sound but less compare with mine n told me it'll get softer as u use along n the actual sound come from the cvt gearbox as mention by the sc.

Ohh.. thx for the info bro. Has it gotten softer in ur case?

My odo meter is now 1380km n slightly better but now a/c sound pulak, i dont know i got a lemon car becos a lot of problem compare to my previous proton like wira, satria, perdana all no problem until the last day i sell it off, not to mention most of them are all first batch car, but never mind even my first batch vios ( dugong ) also got problem. That is luck when buying new car. Doesn't mean what made is better than the other. LUCK
