Own self change

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid...d_comment_reply , TS dare to gamble with this brand or not? Lpb, what they wrote look like ok,lol .

I don't know about this AP thingy.

If you say the margin is 30%, they are probably charging customer RM5xx for the pads alone (exclude labour). What I was describing, the SC replaced a RM2xx pads for customer in the 1st place.

Boleh pakai lah.
If we compare Bosch vs Mintye for a Proton Wira/Saga/Iswara. (I used both brands for more than 10 yrs each).
Mintye is harder, thus last longer, and louder too.
Bosch softer, wear faster, relatively quieter.

Try their General CT series for everyday usage. Should be good for you.


My experience:
I'm a current user of Bendix, MKT series for my Saga BLM.
Within a week my wheels are dusty for normal drive to and back to work.

And I think there is local and imported set for it.
First set of bendix I had was great, 2nd set bought from a different place.
Didn't feels good as the 1st set. Could be local for the 2nd set. Be cautious.
Maybe other forummers can help me clarify this issue.

even lzd also selling now, not sure as what u said is it local or imported set. General CT around rm108 for a decent perodua bezza.. while MKT around rm128..

do brakes pads has expiry date or shelf life? was thinking to buy and keep since got promo price..

intro sikit which shop you went to replace the brake pad, thankx!

I changed it at kaki motor sunway.

Quite good.

thank!! haha.

Buy online & pay labor to mechanic to change it at their workshop. Brake pads for my car is quite hard to get locally (only solution is buy online).

hey guys, not sure if this thread still going on, was planing to change my brake pad on my honda city GM6, any suggestion? its for highway 60%, city 40% usage. thank in advance.

last year I changed my honda city brake pads twice due to the orginal brake pads were worn out. I bought from shopee then bring it to nearest tyre shop then pay them labour charge to replace the brake pads. The first set is Honda brand brake pads and claim that it is Made in Japan. However, the pads built quality is so bad, when I use it for few days, the brake is so noisy and feels something friction between two pieces of metals during I hold down the brake. Also the car can't stop tightly during I hold down the brake. I was doubted that the brake pad is fake one.

So, later that I don't want to buy from shopee. I change to buy another brand "Bendix" from Lazada. Finally, the one Bendix brake pads were solved my brake issue. Now was used the brake for some times already. Guess already more than half year already. No big issue, braking is smoother and no more weird metal frictions feel like the previous fake brake pads. Sometimes still got some little high-pitched sound during braking but not so noisy, mostly not noticeable during driving.

If you want to change brake pads, better just go get a cheap Bendix or Bosch brand brake pads them bring them to nearest tyre shop and ask them to help change the brake pads for your car. Usually labour charge is just few ringgits only. The brake pads also not expensive, just around RM100~150 only for Honda City and built quality for Bendix is good and tidy look. Don't buy the cheap "Honda" brand brake pads because mostly in Shopee and Lazada are the fake one.

if you consider Nissin or Akebono brake pad

I was try to find nissin, but uhrm i couldn't find one, due to my brake pad are worn now, and even make noise itself without pressing brake. Any shop recommend me to buy from?

Hey man, thank for the input, definitely am not going back to so called ori Honda brake pad, its a nightmare to me, i experience the brake pad just like you did, bendix i wish i could take that but it also another nightmare to me, noisy plus scratching my brake disc, making me to skimm my disc rotor eventually.
