For OWV and wind noise, not going to bother already because it does not affect the car performance or safety. Furthermore, i am not comfortable to leave the car at SC overnight.

Guys,

I'm having the same problem with the brake. gluk gluk gluk sound and when i try brake hard at around 50-60km/h the brake show slow response even my 10 years old waja can stop faster..

what is section 13 address? can't find at proton website ger?

Could the disc warping be due to heavy braking before the pads had time to bed in and disc seasoned? Normally about 300km.

Anyone done this? I am interested too.
Since our Preve is heavy, this will help a lot in braking. I called the company in sunway and he said need to make appt.
The work duration is about 2 hours and the damage is RM480.00 for 6 pieces.

Standard brake hoses are good enough unless you

a) have been using them for 5 years or 200k km and even then would still be good. They're not just any rubber hose. Cut an old hose and see. Check the internet for expansion rates for new hoses against braided.
b) tend to go more than 5 laps around SIC without a break
c) they' re leaking

Braided hoses will
a) void your warranty
b) tend to leak
c) cause brake failure if not routed properly
d) show real difference on bikes where you only use 1 or 2 fingers to brake. You are using your foot

You're better of regularly changing your brake fluid, using Dot 4 above and upgrading to pads 600 degrees above
