Gonna get my rear drum system swapped out for a disc system tomorrow if everything goes as planned. biggrin.gif My rear right brake recently failed out of the blue when I was driving. The brake pedal suddenly went deeper which was accompanied by a "kok" sound from the rear right brake. Tired of the drum brakes which have been giving me issues since the day I started using the car.

My handbrake doesn't work correctly now, but luckily I still have my parking brake. laugh.gif

Update the cost of swapping the rear drum to disc. I think my rear brake also failing soon. Too many trips to Cyberjaya via MEX and i often speed till 190kmph to 200kmph lol.

The workshop I'm going to is Ezy Garage which is selling the set for RM1200. Don't need to remove the arms, so I think I won't need to re-do the alignment for the rear. A little bit on the high side, but most of the parts are new except for the brake calipers which are serviced units, but if they work fine, it's fine by me.

Yeah, the brake calipers should be ok. Last I ask from the garage near my place say it cost me around RM1600+ which I think it's ridiculously overpriced...

Went to nestum shop change my front tyres to C-Drive 2 yesterday.

Bought Brembo Disc Brake and also Brake Pad and bring along and ask them to help me change also.

End up when I see my existing disc, it was the old disc(stock that comes since I got my car first day, 3 years ago. (according to the condition la)

Left is new from Brembo, right is the old one.

Now this is proven that the shop I went in TTDI just cheated me over RM200 over a "New Disc Brake"

Quite a fair bit I would say. Tekan sikit then makan already. biggrin.gif
Tak tahu ooo I am driving an Auto. I accidentally went past 6.5K RPM a week ago cause I stuck the car in first gear for acceleration. I just remember that mine seem to have maxed out around 7K when I wasn't in gear and I pressed the pedal.
hmm.gif Did you look at the brakes when you changed it at the shop at TTDI? hmm.gif It's normal for the disc rotors to turn rusty especially if you always wash your wheels. My front rotors which have been used for less than 10,000KM looks the same.

*Less than 15k or 10k, forgot.

Well, blame me for too trusting peoples. I put my car and the shop and ask the mechanic to help me change it and I walk back to office, 3 mins walk.

My stock disc done skimming 1 and a half years ago due to screeching noise. That's after 2 years I got my car and it doesn't looks rusty like this at all.

Earlier this year, I felt my front wheel got problem again. Upon sending in to check, this mechanic reco for disc brake change. So I go ahead and do it. Since skimming will only last me for 6 months or less.

After changed, 3 months later, the same problem come again and that's where I started to think that he had me scammed Liao.

ADD : This is not the only thing he scammed me lol. My front radiator fan's case makes loud noise like the fan is hitting something. Sent to this same mechanic and he ask me change the motor. Few weeks later, the same noise come back and I decided to send it to different mechanic. Upon checking only know that there's no problem with the fan, but the its the case mount problem(I think the mechanic say something about clips). Slot some span into the affected area and problem solved. Some more FOC, LOL

New one of course felt more quiet and smoother journey lo. And no more extreme shaking on steering when braking.

Brake Disc- RM210
