considering to change my 2013 flx to new saga.
reasons
1. 5 years warranty
2. more features.

do new saga comes with free service? if got, how many years?
*
Saga to a saga?

Why not the new persona?

If budget is the limiting factor, used iriz might be worth considering

Personal experience...don't try bendix alot of metals within the brake pad....bosch not so good

I recommend TRW....performance brand

This seller provides free installation at:-
1) Brake Pad Front [DTEC] - RM140 (Ceramic brake pad less dust but expensive)
2) Brake Pad Front - RM90 (Normal brake pad)

Using TRW right now. Just changed last month. Biasa biasa only.

Bought for RM55 from spare part shop.

Hello everyone! Im thinking of installing persona's 15 inch rims with tyres to my saga flx, is it doable?
*
Won't fit. Persona uses 4x114 lug pattern while saga uses 4x100

No issue with 15". Can definitely fit in flushed. Stock Saga SE is 15"

My question is, will 16" fit in?
*
Yes. Ran 205/45/16 with stock suspension before with no issues.

Bro, did you change the spacer when you changed the rim? Or your 16" rim has 4 lugs too?
*

Brand? What's the offset?

I thought I wanted to use Preve's stock rim, but found out that it has 5 lugs and Saga has only 4 lugs doh.gif
*
Any rims would do as long as it's has high offset. 38+ is recommended.

How about 205/55R16 and 205/55R16? Will they fit? or will there be scraping?

Saga's wheel arch is small. 205/45/16 is the maximum you can fit in there.

Did you change your brake hose to braided ones? My setup is braided hose, better pads, stock rotors and better brake fluid. I'm using the likes of Endless RF650 and Redline RL-600 brake fluids. For me the pads I currently runs are rated to 500c they do bite very well even under very hard and late braking. Only thing is whether your rotor can take it or not. I use my car for track racing a lot mainly time attack and I've always pushing the stock rotors limit to its edge. So far I'm amazed how the stock blank rotors can withstand with higher temp pads. There's was not brake fade but I thing I learn on is that the stock rotors if you want to brake late and hard do it in short duration as I found them not able to withstand long duration with the brakes engaged.

I've managed to try the brakes at around 100 to 50m marks couple with heel and toe engine braking before some turns on stock rotors just with better pads and lines and fluid. I'm still on my stock brake pump and stock drum+ shoes at the back. Since our car is not very heavy, I see no reason to overdo the brakes. Like BBK or bigger pump which you will upset the brake balance and makes the car less compliant and stable under braking conditions. 

My next change will be going to 800c pads with sloted rotors to see if they are any better. But if you ask me, for a street machine, your stock rotor or black rotors with better pads, fluid and lines is more than enough to stop you good.

Here's my first outing with new blank rotors . It was a mistake because the rotors were not 100% run in yet as I thought they would so I was braking hard and all of the sudden I have can't feel the brakes at shooting down into Turn 1 of Sepang from the main straight.

Another time attack event at MIMC where I brake really hard and late on the straight to a turn. This time the brakes didn't fade but when I ended my time attack session the rotors was purple blue and this was after it cool off some time.

Images from some events. This was my first 3rd place win in this time attack series for the 1300cc category.

Different wheels setup. Trying out a different offset and tire compound on the front at MIMC.
