Brake pads. When should I start changing it?
jonpaul0104:
Mine is at 103K km and still using the stock brake pads...came down Genting twice as well....still good.....but likely this Jun before going up Genting again will change....
Aust:
Hmm... Seems like I do not have to worry much about my brake pads then... Thanks guys.

Hi bro,
normally, there is a guideline about roughly after how km you should change pads, but its referring to the stock pads. From my 4 yrs of driving the latio, the stock pads are very lasting, but they don't really grip as well as the other pads ive changed b4. I'm now on my fifth set of brake pads.
1 way of verifying is to do a physical check, remove the wheel and you probably can see the thickness of the pad left.
Currently, i am using this brand called Asuki, made in japan. It cost $65 with installation, and i quite like it. Its quiet, and not dusty, and the grip is gradual. Admittedly, the initial bite of the other pads like Bendix and the high temp ones i used was better, but those cost more for sure. Right now, i am pretty satisfied with this Asuki brake pads, and the funny thing about this pad is, it gives my rotors a bloody chrome finish!! I don't know why. Damn shiny, macham apply brasso or autosol then polish like that.
