Change both front and rear brake pad at AS last week.
Now there is a tick tick sound from the drum brake during braking, went back to AS and they say this is normal as new brake pad is uneven and sound would go away once the wear and tear set it.

True? :confused1:

True. i change at AS recently also
but AS brake pad not cheap. cost $135...

Yeah, its exp alright. But no choice, left with only 20% of brake pad, safety should come first.
Btw, any recommendation for cheaper stock brake pads (both disc and drum)

Thanks

The temp spec. affects its endurance...higher the temp u can brake at high speed frequently..usually 400"C is enough for our Latio
Can try Bendix and Fuji..

I recently changed my brake pad and has been experiencing the same brake dust problem ("matte" rims after 1 day).

Do Fuji brake pads produce less brake dust?

I also heard about "brake shields" - are they useful?

As I'm a total newbie to car servicing and brake pads  :nonod:, would greatly appreciate if someone can kindly recommend a good not-too-dusty brake pad (Fuji? which model?), brake shield (if any), and a workshop that carries them (preferably in the East).

Thanks a million!
