Added on October 24, 2007, 2:37 pmy need ventilated discs?
the iswara not that powerful until need that kinda discs
should change the pads to sumthing like the bosch copper compound pads...
that is a cost effective way to significantly improve braking performance

yes, if wanna improve braking power, change to better brake pad and brake hose ... rear disc brake wont make much different ... only looks nicer if change rim...

what brake hose is good?
how long can the ori brake hose last?
yea...iswara really no need rear disc brakes...dah lar engine so underpowered...car is so light...not like its a beamer or sumthing kan...that 1 really needs the rear discs

PRO RS brake hose
better to change this together with new brake fluid

y so expensive?
n y got 6 hose?

Proton Iswara/Saga 1.3/1.5 RM290 USD79.00 S$169 6 hose

I'm running on twin-pot fronts (ventilated) + single rears (solid).
Honestly, if you're a (decent) daily driver, the brakes make no difference. Just get a set of good high-temp pads (maybe like MadDriver's pads I'm selling) and you can have a little bit more fun with the brakes.
If you drive like a maniac (i.e: cannot see winding mountain passes type ), the the brakes make a whole world of difference. They really let you stop when you want, where you want and give you some added assurance when giving your ride a good stretch. But a word of caution, THINK BEFORE YOU BRAKE! They lock... and lock pretty quick.
The hose upgrades are pretty good too, giving you a little more lifespan and brake feel. But PLEASE try not to upgrade the Master Brake Pump as this will only put unnecessary stress to the brake hoses & pads and increase brake-wear. I've seen glazed pads as a result of this (big MBP + bad pads).

i mean the front disc.....

i used to mod iswara too long time ago....

the first thing that i mod is the brakes.... stock brakes + servo i throw... i put in VR4 front disc + calipers + servos

wham, stopping power is excellent


then i naik giler, i change the rear to disc also


then only i main mod the engine

quote from Pro RS site:

"Stainless Steel Braided Teflon hose applied to PRO-RS Brake Hose
are supplied and manufactured by a leading Aerospace hose manufacturer based in the U.S."

y are they so vague about the "leading Aerospace hose manufacturer based in the U.S."?

cant find the name anywhere...they just keep emphasizing the company is from 'the US'
...which could mean a third world island sumwhere which happens to fall under the US...this is wat they are doing for i think nike tshirts or sumthing...say its made in the US,...technically its true...but its not made in the US of A as we know it...its made in some backwater third world island state that happens to fall under the US

this is so classic of small startup comps that try to sound big and important

where u change the rear drum to disc and how much ?

in sungai buluh, my fren's workshop....
if i remember correctly, the whole works cost me RM 600 (disc, calipers etc)

but as mentioned before, for iswara, upgrade the front disc is actually more then enough already

estimate from RM500-RM750
depends on the location

rear vr4 disc cost about rm600-rm700 nowadays....

but as i said, rear disc brake is for cosmetic purpose especially match with nice rim ...

hmm, RM600++ for cosmetic purpose is kinda espensive for me

yea...just change the brake pumps for the back drums every couple of years cukup lor
keeps the back brakes working nicely
not like they are expensive pun...20+bucks a piece je...iswara maintenance damn cheap man

what about those spending over rm1.5k only for bodykits??....

Actually, the rear drums bite quite well. They don't however, take repeated abuse very well Once you get them overheated, they're next to useless... I still miss my rear drums, especially when loading the handbrake (

Believe is or not, the front VR4's are cheaper as compared to the rears these days. Actually had an offer for a P&P single pot set for RM400
... too bad I already had one

Added on October 24, 2007, 3:45 pmNot really cosmetic... it depends on the driver.
For the casual driver with very mild driving habits, yes, they are close to useless. But not for the temperamental maniac
Well, people have spent more on 'cosmetics' too... How much does a set of nice rims cost these days again?
