Hi newbies here,
how does the temp specification in the brake pad help in braking??
If driving at 100 - 140kph? which 1 to use?
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..

used bendix b4, initial grip was superb! but then after 2 hard jam brakings, the grip like not as good. not too sure is it because the pads were burnt?

Some performance brake pads create a lot of brake dust which will 'dirty' your rim. if dun mind then ok. :smile:

confirmz...my current B brake pads are like dust producing machines...1 day of driving, and the whole rim is like MATT finish

still on stock-brake after 63K with ~20% left ...... for safety sake, had it replaced last wk with original stock-brake ..... :thumbsup: enuf for me !!
-
I guess if u r not a chiongster, stock brakepad will suffice. I like matt look, but not on my rim ;D

i've tried stock rotor...was better than normal brake pads den after changed to cross drilled slotted, it became better... I've juz changed to a brand called Fuji, my mechanic says its the same as bendix metal king except that it can last much more longer..

What is the model code for Fuji Brake Pads?

bro, wat u mean by cross drilled slotted?
btw, i have change my brake pad and how do we know when the brake pad wear off?
accident? :D joking...

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:

then remove pad during servicings.

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

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!
