what has this world become, the offender laughing at the victim publicly

thanks for sharing bro; DIY time when i get back later

a bit annoyed with water condensing on that hose as well so yea gonna do something about it hehe

after reading K3nnYkl82 post, i made damn sure no side is open be it top or bottom

pads will ultimately help more, though that really depends on what pads you're getting and considering akebono being damn expensive and decent, it's not that easy to upgrade it unless you're willing to fork out a lot more money and/or forego nvh/increased brake dust.

may refer to my previous post again as to why some say it doesn't help and some say it does.
you can also use the water hose analogy on water (brake fluid) pressure, notice steel braided are slimmer - technically speaking, the test with the preve merely mean the brakes are applied quicker as the brake fluid pressure is higher.

the biggest advantage of steel braided is that it'll remain that way until you cook your braking system beyond it's intended threshold (eg: 600-800 celsius, more than what the steel braided can sustain and eventually gets expanded slightly as well) of the system.
rubber hoses obviously expands at a quicker rate and having much lower threshold, and even regardless of that, as it ages it'll expand overtime very slowly as well.

(hindsight on me/ Vyraz 's end that we did not take comparison photos between our brake hoses prior to cable tying them.)

that's what everyone wants, however to most, money is a f***ing cockblock ;(

the test is a bit biased since at such low speed/distance, everything else are not taken into consideration (tires, car weight/momentum, even to an extent suspension)

imagine water being brake fluid, if you squeeze the hose it's gonna travel faster and in a way you started braking earlier.

put the car on the track though and braking at maybe 160+, like sepang's first corner from straights, too sharp braking may result your car spinning out if your tires can't take it

you clearly never tried EBC greens (or even reds)

you can probably ignore bendix (especially metal king as it's going to rape your rotors with the hard/metallic pad material)/ferodo considering your above 3 criterias.

are still damn healthy (maybe 60-80% left) on Vyraz second hand car at 90k km, so unless you brake like a madman, you're probably going to be using it for a very long time
rm450/set of fronts, i guess you get what you "paid" for lol.

Vyraz mahihi davidke20

the braking feel is sharper that's for sure.
my iswara have steel braided brake hose from IMP and EBC greens brake pads

inspira still on stock everything
mileage still under 4k km as it's my weekend/midnight/long distance ride for the time being

np, i think it's a waste to replace the good stuff on the car, hence not touching the brake pads/brake lines and only cable tying them up

well the old car is working fine and it has sentimental value to me/family; no value to sell anyways so yeah might as well continue using it lol

ask him give 5 second head start

only bring/use 4 liter EO, and hope they drain your previous oil a little longer.

i brought 4liter ams oil, ceratec and ws2 and now the EO is slightly overfilled... thinking maybe the xw20 will get itself leaked/burnt off eventually to slowly even out... after almost 3k km and a lot of red lining... it's still overfilled

wow i'm surprised you experienced more brake dust than the stock akebono, perhaps because you got more braking confidence and thus brake harder and resulting in more dust?

regardless, from your experience which brake dust/dirt from stock akebono/ebc green were easier to clean/wash off?

well it's ngam ngam at the full indicator dot there, just a bit over by few mm, so lazy to "suck it up" lo

confirm won't last 50k km, maybe 20-40k km ady less to no effect (more if you oci more frequently eg: 5k km)

synthium 1000 is stupid.
xw50 viscosity laugh die me.

woih

laugh until intestines fall out and really go to hell jor

to be honest, not really. maybe cuz i haven't drive in hot afternoon yet.

the one thing that really worked: no water dripping all over that area
