Any comments bro? was it a good deal for each case? or was i chop kaw kaw?

Didn't think of that when i went to quicksave. Initially tot of getting a set of N8000 only, mana tau come out this kong that kong...zzzzzz

BTW, any idea where can we find online for price comparison for each and every item for FD?

I doubt Quicksave is a money sucking service centre as compared to those workshops out there, as it is an official merchant at 8gcc, and i was well prepared for the standard wear and tear for a 5years old 100k km car.

In my case, the rear LSH abs have been leaking oil since last year, just that i choose not to pay attention to it only.
and both my mountings already cracked kaw kaw and can see oil leaking out dy..going over humps previously was as if i was in a tin kosong..noise here and there.
Disc brake and pad also time to changed dy since left 20% and disc already skimmed twice.
So satu kali let Quicksave do all lor..got discount and can pay installment with cc somemore..hehe

My idea of posting was if there is a platform for all of us FD owners to share their repair and replacement cost here, then we shall be better informed of the normal price for each and every parts.

Save the hassle to survey shop by shop and risk being sweared at by the foremans if u asked and walk away..

err...there shud be a correction. 2012 new model, not 2012 facelift.

new car ?
if already more than 20k km, then is normal wear.
i experienced this screeching sounds from the rear before too.
the sound is an indication that the pads are worn out and needs to be replaced.
the brake system has somekind of metal to produce this sound whenever the pads are worn lesser than the metal.
correct me if i am wrong, but this was told by my service technician.
after replacing new pads, the sound is gone.

I never go back to SC for brake pad changes.
Those wear and tear parts i always do outside.
Blardy hell the front brake pads from SC they last time quote me RM400++per set.
I changed Project Mu pads baru RM300.
how many km after change then u changed again?

BTW, any brothers here on Pivot 3 Drive throttle controller?
How much does it cost include installations, and where is the best place to get this?
Was poisoned in 8gcc forum.

Just checked with HM, my car kena!! lolz....dono is good or bad news for me.
Last done major service checked, still ok no problem for my power steering pump and hose.

I am driving an fd1 2006.
Recently last night while driving and manuevering over a speed hump, when i applied the brakes, there was a vibration with kroak kroak kroak sound as if the ABS had cut in.
The braking wasn't emergency and speed was around 50kmph only.

Anyone here have similar experiences? Is that normal?

Twice i experienced it last night, but today sent to mech, can't find the problem cos nothing happened while braking.

Brake fluid still enough, brake pad (project MU) and rotor (brembo) changed just 2 months ago.

What I wanna ask here is, how do we know its the actual ABS functioning, or there is a failure for the ABS which kicks in suka2 hati.

I search high and low to know how ABS really work. Still trying to understand the theory.

Bro, u mean if pad and rotor is brand new, will kick in more frequent the ABS?
