Proton stock pads are metal. Can see shiny-shiny sintered material inside, but dunno is iron or copper. 100k km makan disc but once a while wash with water rinse off black dust and drive the disc so far flat and no ugly grooves.
I'm wondering why other cars use ceramic or organic pads? |

QUOTE(mot88 @ Apr 25 2022, 11:32 AM) Proton & Perodua alat ganti tulen from Mintye (local models) Brake pads in new cars for Proton /Perodua from factory are usually better quality than alat ganti tulen. Is it possible the Proton CFE models use Bosch metallic pads? Old posts got say is TRW Proton. But, things can change also, noticed some parts from Proton SC also change brand over the years. I think now using Ultrex ceramic on rear, front might be Bosch metallic. |

QUOTE(mot88 @ Apr 25 2022, 12:56 PM) Not surprise for Proton performance model (turbo), better pad is used. Bosch is not that good either. Used Bosch PowerPlus and its noisy and grip not that fantastic. Nothing beats Trestor Advantage for local model for best bang for bucks but dusty and noise when first 2 pedal presses in the morning. Oh thanks. The first 2 pedal press is it to get rid of surface rust in the morning? Sometimes if release handbrake and move the car, can hear 'thng' sound when the brake pad releases from the disk. |
