Oh so there's isn't a proper formula on brake pad change similar to our engine oil change? What's the damage with the change and is there a shop owned by Joseph?
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.
