If budget allow, go for reputable brands. Dun take risk with brake system.
I will avoid Bosch brake pads though. They are OEM by Mintye, quality wise not the best around.

QUOTE(scorgio @ May 21 2018, 11:21 PM) Service center pun buy from spare parts shop. Ehm...At one of my regular shop, the Honda SC is right opposite. While I was waiting for my goods, the technician from Honda SC came, in uniform. Returning a set of brake pads. He said customer complained noisy (Honda Accord). Apparently, he took a set of Thailand ori (RM2xx) for customer, while the Japan ori cost RM4xx. It's not hard to understand that they charged customer the price of a Japan ori but gave something cheaper.  By right Honda SC cannot purchase parts from stockist outside. They have very strict audit system. Even the appointment/booking system is being controlled centrally now, they cannot take in more cars than they allow to (according to their manpower, working bays, etc) Its not easy to import genuine Honda parts from Thailand through AP (Honda Malaysia blocked it) The margin for SC is 30%++ and if its original, RM4xx to RM2xx would be nearly 50% off. |

QUOTE(mot88 @ May 22 2018, 11:41 AM) I used Bosch, the PowerPlus version and performance wise is not good. This is for Proton. Imported Bosch brake pad such as those used in Peugeot is very nice. Imported version are good.Those manufactured locally, are by Mintye. There are lousy. Eg Bosch brake pad for VW only cost RM160 with installation, those are Bosch made locally. |

QUOTE(spreeeee @ May 22 2018, 10:29 AM) current best brake pads brand is Mintye? I said avoid....Brembo, Textar, Pagid, TRW, Continental ATE, Akebono, Mando, Sumitomo These are OEM for most Continental/Japanese cars. They might not be the best in the market (eg for track use) but you can hardly go wrong with them on normal daily usage. Eg. BMW brake pad usually made by Continental ATE. VW/Audi/Mercedes usually TRW. Korean cars by Mando. Japanese cars under Akebono/Sumitomo mostly. |
