Take a look at the right piece of the brake shoe, almost gone. The brake cylinder expanded but wouldn't retrieve. Rear left(passenger side) brake shoe like NEW because cylinder jammed and UNABLE to expand at all. Both side KO.


The amount of brakedust got trapped in the brake hub, when your brake cylinder expanded, where does the dust go? The answer is stuck in your brake cylinder


New brake cylinder, claimed to be imported from JAPORN.



Semi metallic brake shoe, made in 山东, and claimed to be TUV certified



Certainly a crap car everyday need to fix 1

i think they tested standard flx and flx+ (can see from the rim)
exec model should be higher rating for each (flx and flx+) but cause they didn't crash it
i suppose it will use the rating for standard model

how does the drum shoe and cylinder compared to bosch cylinder and bendix drum shoe?

this one:
bosch brake pump
bendix drum shoe

FLX Standard are not equipped with ABS & EBD

FLX+ is new model coming out later or does it mean Executive and above

From the pics, FLX & FLX+ both with rim kompang, unpainted side mirrors & door handles

that will be confusing
FLX standard 1 star
FLX exec 3 star
FLX+ standard 3 star
FLX+ exec 3 star or more?

if only they test all variants

Maybe new FLX+ would have Airbags, ABS, EBD and *possibly* ESC as standard?

If got ESC then maybe can purchase the module and PnP

Just don't come out rear brake discs...this one sure butt-hurt

Claim warranty

FLX+ could be the replacement for standard variant?

maybe with two airbags but without the abs + ebd?

proton really getting weird with saga this time
so many updates in short time
and the naming also getting longer
fl > flx > flx+ > ...

it should be replaced next yr if the cycle is 5yrs
yet we nvr heard of it

Just saw the Myvi "A" pillar. Fail

Don't know. 1st time change only. And I'm using ShanDong stuff I'd say ayam satisfy with the cold ~ warm performance. Pedal is soft and easy to control brake force. Very suitable for city driving like me and waifu style But I guess this type of pads will have to take it easy when getting down from Genting On the way back from Jenjarom to Kesas, got chance to sprint up to 180kph, did several hard brakes. Braking distance acceptable, as good as compare to stock, may be even better cause pedal is still soft after several attempt. From stretch Bandar Botanic towards Kemuning sprint up to 190kph, this time brake slightly fade, need to step several time to achieve brake force. If not the brake shoe, should be the brake fluid giving up And btw, the brake shoe ayam using is more expansib than the 1 you link.

Brake pump, I've changed both BOSCH pumps on Shawie few months ago. So, they're supposed to work like STOCK, may be rosak in a year or 2. Now, my BLM changed to some other chapalang brand that cost almost 1/2 of BOSCH price, if this set last me more than 2 years I'm happy liao

Drive so fast...any saman?

Got flashed by AES a few days ago. Dunno kena or not

Wah, old car + 15" rim still can go up to 190kph oh...

should replace both la, standard and exec
if not, flx+ standard
but flx exec only, no flx+ exec?

or they'll just change name but remain same spec for exec

possible too

so fast u drive hoh.. testing new brakes
as long as same with stock ok la, always good if it's better than stock, price wise does it reach 100?
might as well test in wet? change to braided steel hose lar

i might want to change the pump and brake shoes too cause last time check 1 side jammed

now that there's no more tak tak sound, i also don't know still jammed or not, last checked august
but bosch one is should be good right?
