Since yours only 5k km, disc and rotors shouldn't be the cause. Disc brake i think can skim only twice, after that can throw away dee..

By skimming, the disc rotors thickness has been reduced, if it is lower than minimum thickness allow or the disc has been at minium thickness.. it can reduce braking efficiency because of it cannot dissipate heat faster, thinner than specified disc rotors can cause the rotor to warp.

It may cause leaking too because of the piston at caliper push outward too much..

Usually, after skimming, it is adviseable to replace with new pad. But if you insist not to replace, still can use because after bedding in and rubbing, the pad can 'match' the disc..

I think Proton shall replace us with a replacement unit ler...mine also same, scraping noise. But now using 3rd set of new pad, BenDix General CT..so far i can't heard any noise

450km is below 3000rpm? got tekan tekan ah??.....and highway drive?...

i believe that's normal.. when the car is new, the absorber feels slightly stiff.. and they will become softer over time once they have 'settled' in..

u mean steering vibrate???...go do balancing, or change new tires...back to smooth cruising...

mine vibrate around 110km-130km....cause the tire thread uneven and rotation not round...have to change new tires in order to get back the new car feeling....

if want more stable...use 55series rather than 60series..

how shaky? suspension or steering? if suspension, like i said, the absorbers have settled in and becomes soft (as persona should be).. if you want firmer ride you can try gen2 absorbers.

nothing to do with brand. be it proton/honda/toyota/etc.. most absorbers will feel differently once they have fully run-in

haha... i also feel like that...
have to drive carefully loh is mirror is small...
but F1 Car side mirror also small...may be proton want follow F1....
