what raimy_m9 did about the spongy feel is change disk brake.

StarburstMz

well that's for me, actually i still feel a bit spongy/lembut just lesser..and i could feel strong braking force/bite(i feel more condident while driving and tailgating..haha) and i think it's better this way cos my persona doesn't come with abs....for other's they changed to double layer servo, and it will have more braking force, just tap a bit on the brake and it will bite..


my plan for next few months, is to change to double layer servo.not sure what's the cost, around 200 maybe..

actually, just change the brake servo from single to double will do.., and i think the standard oem disc also crap..lol..

what about steel braided thingy then? and changing better brake pads will help?

hmm..steel braided not sure, but i know steel braided does not swell/expand during pressure unlike rubber one,and steel braided somewhat gives firmer feel to the pedal, and that does not necessarily increase your stopping power/or braking force. better ask someone expert lah..

i changed my brakepad twice on the original rotor, first i changed to bendix metal king titanium, and then i changed the normal bendix; bendix general ct. both brakepad types perform the same on the original rotor. very poor and spongy. after i had changed the rotor, then i can feel the bite on this bedix general ct. i went back kampung(kelantan) a few times already with this new rotor, and i must say, it performs well.it does not easily lock up during dry and wet road..i can do late braking(not that late la).i must say, overall i feel confident when cruising 140-180 in karak highway or genting.or tailgating.haha. . it is much much better on this new rotor.


first thing first, our persona without rear disc brake is installed with gen2 1.3 brake pump. the persona with rear disc perform a bit better...well in my opinion, to increase the braking force, you need a bigger pump...thus why people when they changed to double layer servo brake pump, light tap on the brake you already can feel the bite.

ps: i'm using 17inch 215/45/17, before this only rim pasu bunga...that time my braking really worst...haha.lel.

previously owned persona, actually stock pads with stock disk is good enough, at least for normal owners like me. didn't feel spongy. (i didn't know the spongy feel like you guys said earlier).

i need more power..can't even keep up with exora turbo..haha..kena tinggal

high line? all 4 disc? all 4 disc should be okay..but without rear disc, that one memang spongy.. need to brake from afar.lel..someone emergerncy brake infront, you see la whether can brake in time or not..haha..i kena, myvi masuk my lane and brake..i couldn't brake in time..tekan brake very hard, tapi ia tak mahu berhenti.. haha..habis rosak kereta..lel

u so fc-conscious not driving as fast as raimy mar, see the speed he saying. u concentrating on showing the good fc-figure after run i still remember...

standard persona. i drive within speed limit. and usually i drive withing 2-3 car distance.

yeah..i also drive within the speed limit and usually giving 2-3 car distance. ..and then i got into accident while i was travelling not even 60kmh and this myvi swerve mask from most most right to middle lane and brake...i couldn't even brake in time.
driving in kl where got many idiots..

i break speed limit usually on highway.but then, the road to kelantan mana ada highway macam plus highway or highway pantai timur tu..lel.


ps: standard persona? which one?

lol you see many complaints on persona brake system..spongy, can't brake in time, need to brake from afar..lel.no need so fast la..try emergency brake from 60, see how la..the car won't even have this bite feelings..and can't even brake in time. need to always aware and cautious..like i always did before..

for that case even got super god brake spec also cannot help you.

no, that time ayam not concentration on FC. it just that i am just that kind of driver. drive slow and steady. so, stock brake system is just ok for me.
drive 110km/h on highway is not fc conscious btw.
btw, i feel stock saga brake is better

yes, no e-brake's kind of braking force feel. so i either fast drop down gear or shift to neutral...

ic, same like me, obeyed to traffic and no feel the need for speed.

well, i believe it can. the problem with spongy brake like i mention before, you tap the brake, it won't stop..no bite feeling..it just will stop slowly, you give it more force, it will slow down a bit more, then you tap harder, until at some point it will lock..deswai you need to brake from afar..even when you drive slowly. lel, even when driving at 30kmh, i hard braking also will take longer distance than other cars with good brake

i tested inspira and new altis last month, lightly tap on the brake it bite and want to stop. same feeling as my wira with gsr brake..

dares ur comments needed (by me lol)

don;t copy me, can u?
are u funker like me?
