That's great since the TRW COTEC is on a higher line than the DTEC iinm.
Cost like rm100 for my car though
The DTEC doesn't accumulate dust or squeals is it?
*
the DTEC pads are quite dusty & have sub par grip. brembo oe replacement pads are less dutsy & have better grip than the trw dtec ones.

try EBC yellow stuff. those has superb grip albeit producing a lot of dust. using it right now on my Mazda 6.

Since you got budget for ebc, I recommend akebono pro-act, superb grip and very less dust. I've tested on genting uphill and ulu yam downhill, drive aggressively for my standard, no brake fade on my Mazda 6.

Can only find the ones for the model with handbrakes in Malaysia.

The ones for the model with EPB is not available here.

If car manual says Dot3, we can go dot4 & 5?

DOT3, DOT4 & DOT5.1 are compatible.

Never go below the minimum manufacturer's requirement

Try Trestor Advantage blue
abit pricey but still cheaper than japanese ori

Stay away from Thai ori. For hongda it's shitty
Other than that original akebono's are good and worth the price

I can vouch for Trestor Advantage Blue brake pads.

I'm using it right now on my Persona.

I can say that they are the best OE replacement brake pads that I have ever used on my Persona.

Dusty AF (same could be said for Brembo OE & TRW DTEC); but the bite is superb (better than stock, Brembo & TRW).

Use it in combo with competent grip tires, you are good to go

i looked into Trestor web page and there were 3 products:

- Red DELUXE ORGANIC
- Green METALLIC PLUS
- Blue ADVANTAGE

Which is better in terms of stopping power and low dust? pls advise. thx.
*
Blue has the best stopping power, however with most dust.

No such thing as excellent stopping power with low dust.

Low dust pads are usually either have low or just decent stopping power

you are absolutely correct  thumbup.gif

because my current ride was using Bendix Metal King... when heavy breaking in highway seems the stopping power is not there,  sad.gif  so decide to change other brand.
*
If got your car size, you can try Bendix Ultimate, a higher tier product from Bendix.

What would be a good brake system for Axia?

Wanted something that's more sensitive than the stock brake. Shorter braking distance.

Better brake pads, better grip tires, DOT4 brake fluid

I was using ori brembo brakepads. A lot of dust and i switched to trw dtec. At first I thought the braking was good because i was not aggressively braking. However when i do test it aggressively, i this dtec felt a bit spongy and braking was not as good as the brembo brakepads.
Now im looking to switch back to either brembo or somethg better with less dust.
Dixcel?
*
The pads with good braking power are usually dusty.

You can try Dixcel ES or Bendix Ultimate

It's in my wishlist. Some member reviewed that that pads need to be heated to perform as intended.

It will be my next pad after my current pad is due.

If you are not those touge kind or like to race. Normal ceramic pads will do. Also, Dixcel ES & Bendix Ultimate or Performance Kind will eat your brake disk.
*
I don't mind, it's an acceptable compromise. I'll just replace the rotors when needed.

My car has high torque, so the normal pads is not good enough for competent braking.

torque has no influence on braking... weight of the car has...

You are right, but because the car has high torque, I tend to drive faster easily most of the time, which affects braking when my car is already 1.6 tonnes in weight.

Have you tried TRW dtec by any chance? How does it compared to the Dixcel ES?
I believe your driving style is almost like mine, hence i think if you say its good for u, it shld be good for me too lol

TRW DTEC is a little spongy. Surprisingly it is also very dusty.

I see..
Yes i wan power, but I wan decent handling too. I have been playing touge at penang hill since my first car and several setups and cars later, i think my current handling strikes the 2nd best in handling and best in comfort of all my setups so far.

Now u make me curious, how does your car's handling compared to mine? Since u are at the extreme side and i dont think i am extreme.

Handling wide, i do have upgrades like tien flex z suspension (currently driving at 14/16 clicks of hardness and 2 fingers, best handling n comfort for me), hardrace arms n bushings, ur bars for engine and bottom chassis,  hasport engine mountings, brembo brakes, bridgestone re004 tires. Anyway i think car chassis plays a vital roll too, like hatchback car shld have way better handling.
Yeah a bit spongy when i compared with my brembo pads. But way less dusty than brembo pads.. i wonder how about dixcel es..
*
For me all 3 pads (brembo low-met, trw dtec & dixcel es) are dusty pads.

Their dustiness are very similar.

The only pads that are dustier would be EBC yellow stuff. But this one really eat the disc like crazy.

Funny.. my brembo brakes are way dustier than the trw dtec. Like 3x dustier... Also it sometimes have sound when braking..

I agree on the sound. This is where TRW DTEC excels over Brembo. It is more quiet.

However, Brembo has better bite than TRW.

Not sure if you or heard any feedback of Remsa pads?
Was given feedback by the sales person it is good pad but very dusty as he used it on his personal car.
*
No, I was wondering the same as well, but not dare to try as nobody in my circle have used it before, & there are no online reviews available.

Other questionable brands aside from Remsa; Myrafit, Ceramax, LPB.

If anybody could share their reviews about these brake pads, it would be much appreciated

Hi Any recommended brake pad for new Alza 2022 (D27A)?
*
If you don't mind the dust, I strongly recommend Trestor Advantage.

Among the dusty pads available in the market (Brembo Low Met, Bendix Metal King Titanium, TRW DTEC), Trestor Advantage has the best braking performance, without eating into your rotors too aggresively like the others.

What is the point of being dusty if it is not braking well enough?

If you think Trestor Advantage is too much for you. Try Trestor Metallic Plus, which is at the same level as the others mentioned above.

Trestor Advantage range is at the same level as Bendix Ultimate, but more friendly to your brake rotors.

Brembo ceramic brake pad by emerald autoparts sdn bhd, been using it for my camry acv30 2.0e year 2003, fantastic 😀🐝
*
Brembo NAO ceramic pads produce less dust than Brembo Low Met pads.

They last longer too albeit with less stopping power & lower maximum temperature.

I'm using them in one of my cars. Very nice pads for smooth driving style.

But, unfortunately they're not available on wider range of models.

Best to contact Emerald to know if it is available for your car, or otherwise.
