Brake pads. When should I start changing it?

[josho]

No I didn't rotate tyres, coz I just changed to Hankook K415 last week.
Is it a standard practice for the workshop to do wheel alignment if they rotate tyres?

I went to hankook before and nope, they dun do wheel alignment. Some shop does that.

I am on 61K, dunno brakepad need to change or not.

$65 for brakepad is consider affordable. heh....

[Carmodz]

$65 is for one set? (2 pieces)
Looks like I just kena chop carrot head yesterday...

Standard practice to do wheel alignment when rotate tires? Definitely not a standard practice. Because if it was, every tire shop would have alignment machines loh

[Ying]

yes, not all workshop have the machine but if have then you can ask for a special price for the wheel alignment. I did that when I change my tyre.

[CustomGolf]

that's the thing I don like... package price cheaper but have other hidden cost. So did they change brake pad, rotate tiye then do wheel alignment for you?

change brake pads also need to do wheel alignment.

Just got back from Malacca and I felt that the stock brakes aren't working as good as it should be. It was a fast run therefore had to brake a lot till the whole steering wheel was vibrating whenever I brake.

Going fast without good brake system is madness.

Any brother/sister did any steel braided brake hose or changed to full four pcs disc brakes?

if you are feeling and hearing the vibration on the front wheels that because your ABS is kicking in

I vividly know that I didn't push the brakes fully but they were vibrating already. Either its too hot or something is wrong. One guy told me is high speed balancing.

Anyway where to do steel braided hose and the damage? Want to know the market rate for such things.

Anyone upgraded their brake system?

[Ying]

change brake pads also need to do wheel alignment.

for me it is a must when I change new tyre or if there is problem. I will do brake pad change during regular servicing with normal tyre rotation.   

[josho]

Shld I buy the brake pad and get the guys from AS to change for me during servicing or, i shld change at the shop if I thought of getting Asuki brake pad?

Hi bro, may I know where you got your HEL brake hose?  How's the effect after installing it?

[pizzaboy]

I got them from Aoto
After changin to HEL hoses, can feel that the brake pedal does not have the spongy feels anymore esp when brakin hard at fast speed. As this is a budget & cost-effective way of improvin the brake system, but if i hv the extra dough i would change the rotors and callipers too. . .
