I'm wondering why other cars use ceramic or organic pads?
*
Honda, Mazda, Toyota (non performance model) using ceramic pads repacked from Akebono or Advics from factory.

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.

Most if not all conti cars are using semi metalic from factory and OEM. There are aftermarket ceramic brake pad (not confuse with ceramic disc) but are not recommended by manufacturer.

For W124, use oiginal MB pads which is available from MB stockist. Original MB pads are supplied with new brake hardware such as clips. For rear, can use other brand pads, but for front highly recommend to stick to ori.

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.

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.
