currently using ferodo zero on my ride... bites very very well when hot.. good if u drive aggressively... based on my observation, brake dust accumulate more on the rims compared to stock brake pads..neway no hassle washing them off.

so in summary ferodo bites well when it is hot.

ok sect 8 spare parts shop is opposite Hilton Hotel. There is a KFC on the corner take that road in and turn left. shops its on the left hand side, happy shopping.

Yee haa, next change Ferodo brake pads.

another brans u can try is trestor........... this 1 my fren recommend 1 i haven't try b4!

ferodo at rm75 per set....wow cheapler...

metal king is good but bite disc rotorlah.

ferodo my next change then

guys, what about those ceramic brakes? saw one advert by autogen. Is it ok?

Thankssssssss

OT: about the rotor, is bosch brand rotor good? I'm looking pair for city front pair as my rotor is bit uneven ready.. it will vibrate when hit the brake at speed 90km/h above..

My vote for Ferodo too. Nowadays hard to find .

Normally i bought around rm100 for my kenari.

uneven adi den send it for skimming lor... dun need to change new rotor each time mah....

Authorized dealer or something...

Just like Q8 engine oils, not all spare part shops selling them.

ferodo is good...but when the pad is still cold...drive slow abit...no so bite...but when hot...it bite kao kao....bought it for rm65...for kelisa use...

the mechanic told me can skim once only as its getting thinness

how about Bosch brade pad?

it depends on how bad it was when u go for the 1st skim.
there's no particular rule stated that only can skim once for any disc.

ask ur mech to check on the disc cond and then decide whether to go for 1nd skim.
another opt is, just go for the 2nd skim (if u have extra budget), and then try again to brake at 90km/h, feel the difference. anyway, it is just RM50 for skimming. worth trying, rather than changing the disc.

i skim mine rm30/disc.

ehh..airline selling my iswara front disc for 55 only ma..if so why go skim leh...zzz

Havent had experience with those pads. But basically i was experiencing the same feeling (as you) with my Nissan S15 4pots. I then did a full overhaul, serviced the calipers (weren't in good condition), changed brakepads (RS pads from Automotive Genesis) and a set of stainless-steel braided brakehoses.

Now brake pedal feels very firm and the bite/force is what i expect from a 4pot.

Hope it helps.

the caliper also can service?

yes there is am O-ring inside the caliper can be change and align back the caliper piston..
while at the brake system better check your master brake pump, ur rear brake pump(drums)/ rear disc service the caliper n align back the piston.
if wanna better brake change to a bigger servo
used afi, trestor, don 3 star, stock proton pads all used on a cross drilled rotor n got a very effective brake...

hope tis helps ya..
