I have read some of the forummers review about brake pad brand, one of the affordable brand is FeRoDo ZeRo..so i have decided to replace the stock brake pad with this FeRoDo

mileage/usage: 0-10k km (6months)
product: Bosch brake pad..proton genuine oem pad

mileage/usage:10-20k km(8months)
product: FeRoDo Zero
comments:
- exhibit some noise, screeching noise ...
- it tends to get overheat, during downhill braking(Genting, balik pulau or spirit driving). Metal burning smells..YEAKKSS..It does not like high temperature as advertised, real disappointed.
- not really peform during cold, it is slightly better under hard braking
- the worst is the edge tear off piece by piece, still can use sand paper to flatten the surface but.. refer pic below(d) decided to throw this away...i


a) FeRoDo Zero and BenDix Titanium stripe..


b) A fresh brake pad should have 0.9-1cm thickness.


c) FeRoDo Zero, still have 65% thickness, equivalent to ~6cm after doing 10k km...



d) Edge tear off ..






Yesterday bought two set of BenDix CT General, one for Waja..one for my PerSona.
mileage/usage: 20kkm - current
product: BenDix CT General(metal king has been discontinued)
Already clocked 200KM so far, no need bedding in as advertised.

How much you bought that Bendix CT General?

what brake fluid are u using...........

nice Colgate ruler...hahaha


...anyway, what are the chances of that being a counterfeit product? or faulty

any damage to your disc's?

maybe its a counterfeit product?
been using it for the last 5 years
never experienced such problem

before i buy trestor advantage, i came across this ferodo zero.. the boss said this brake pad can tahan 3xx celcius only wtf..
i dont think he ned to lie firstly because im his supplier and he got berlambak stock there lol
how true is that

I using RapisStop and it serves well

can u show the other side too ?

got for ferodo formula if u really wanna get a good sports pad...it bites like hell when slightly warmed up..

FYI...im using ferodo zero for my kelisa....maybe u got a fake ferodo coz there is fake ferodo in the market now.....

There is a possibility that you have fakes. Where is your central groove? There is suppose to be a groove in the middle of the pad. Don't think you've worn them off.

Look at the pic below. Did yours come with the groove?

that's a fake. my ferodo zeros have a central grove AS WELL as pads that do not look reddish after 10k. ferodo zeros are known for their initial bite. does yours have great braking feel when your first depress the pedal?

funny, his 1 doesn't nhave center grooves

Looks like fake pad.

Even caplang pad also wont break up like a biscuit, it only wears off.

most likely counterfeit product

don't know bout that, mine does XD

bro.. i think u puchased the fake one.. in market alot fake one.... when u puchase.. did it come wit a sticker??? window sticker lik those engine oil changed sticker...

I using this brand already 1 year.. no problem.... i feel it better then oem...

ini mesti sungai buluh pad using ferodo box.

It is yellowish colour, DOT4..proton oem brake fluid
