yay first page lol

welcome.
and for SC i find it ok as that's just about the price even for outside air cond shops (again, proper servicing using ori parts such as denso nd-8 compressor oil)

lol...

wa 3 sec 0-100 for the proton satria; almost 1k hp and 900 torque

what i got. true 156°(diagonal), 123°(horizontal), 90°(vertical)/1080p/30 to 60 fps (very dependent on the sd card) recording.

stock akebono brake pads are around the same level as EBC greens, cept more expensive and noisier/more brake dusts.

considering the weight of our car, i'd have more concerns on the tires (stock cc5 are absolutely shit) than brake pads. i can trigger the ABS very easily but the tires just gave up

shouldn't have anything to do with brake pads

go slam your brakes harder.

so what brake pads you gotten?

not for my case. still got my rims fairly dirty however i got sonax WC plus FE/megs WB/car pro iron x so wheel cleaning is never a problem to me.

so these more dust than the stock akebono?

personally no experience with them, and since i've experienced few local brake pads, no confidence anymore. i'll just stick with EBC lol.

that's what i worry lo. if these got dust while to you akebono no dust.
i akebono got dust.

then to me these pads = gg.com?

ya, cheaper solution also

considering it's just brake fluid, wanna try outside shops? maybe can check out nestum place at jln ipoh if you're staying in KL.

although different car, my experience on cd2 is way better than cc5 except for wet grip as i never really speed much on wet with the new inspira.
cd 2 on the other hand had over 160-180km/h in wet/hard braking on both the iswara/nissan sentra (yes they both using cd2) and never gotten much aqua planing before.

that said, right now my iswara's cd2 is experiencing some aquaplaning above 110-120km/h as it's only 15-25% treads left

dry grip easily cd2, i have better braking distance/stopping/control with the cd2 than the stock cc5 and this feedback is shared among everyone i know that experienced both tires.

NVH i still prefer cd2, although this is a bit hard to compare considering all 3 cars are rather different.
not to mention all 3 car tire sizes/thickness also different already.
and considering the cc5 are new while the cd2 on both cars are worn/aged a lot, it's pretty clear the cd2 wins.

ultimately will i go back to either tires? no.
i'll be moving up to something like advan db, or advan sport, or nitto invo, maybe even GY eagle f1 as2 for my daily ride wheels. or if i don't plan to keep 2 set of wheels (as housing space is running low) i'll just straight away go extreme tires.

it also depends if i can get an indoor parking (so my inspira will take over my iswara completely as daily ride) at my work place and from the looks of it, it seems like i won't be able to get one unless i'm willing to pay premium

odo also 2k only, car 2 months or so, already got brown/black ish "coating" on the rims.
using the car pro iron x can see good red bleeding

like this:


for the iswara, it takes about 3-5 months to get the same amount of brake dusts (during that period i only do regular wash and never bother with the wheels)

wet grip was never Yokohama's strong point, dry should be no problem at all.
still, i only facing aquaplaning when the tires are so worn having barely few mm away from TWI lol

still controllable though yes like you said, lacking feel of grip already especially on rear. however as i'm kinda used to the fishtail happy nature of the iswara, it didn't really surprise me. if it's an issue to me i guess i can drive slower in heavy down pours/minor floods

all that said, the latest ad08r surprised me a ton with it's wet grip

lol i also black car ma... ok geh if you have good products
my car still kilat kilat after a week lol.

which brake pad (front/rear?) you want me to check? maybe when i drop by workshop can inspect a bit lo

=edit=
could take a while since i don't particularly have anything to do/check? LOL

or maybe i get my car jack and just remove the wheels and see i can measure the thickness myself or not lol

ok much better if that's the case, but how i stick my ruler/measurement tape it oh? i agak agak very bad lol. maybe i try take picture show you would that do?

wet grip ok for you mou? so far so good la belum crash my iswara (again lol)
*touch wood*

CD2 right?

hmm a lot of people also say the treadwear is shit (soft compound ma)
