Dear Bros,

Now im using Ferodo Brake Pads.
I changed Ferodo pads only 2 months ago.
Yesterday went for my servicing.

I got a shock!
I drove only less than 10km!!!
And i feel that is very dusty that the brake gave.
I drove ard 120-150km per day.

Dear Gurus,

10k km you mean? IMO, a brake pad that finishes fast is one that "eats" well ;) you can have one lasting one but doesn't eat. The brake dust might be because it "ate" well. Or you do too much of last minute braking to cause this firstly dude?

i mean go to another workshop to check to see if the brake pads are really worn out.
cos if brake pads are worn out, there will always be tell-tale signs like loud screeching sounds whenever the brake is depressed.

less than 10km and yet 3/4 gone? better check if it is even installed properly.... dangerous if it is rubbing against the disc even when brake is not pressed.... might get overheated n cracked.... danger danger....

i recommand EBC, it's green in color, and it's brake dust free, a possible reason y ur brake pad runs out fast is due to unnecessary braking, such as during a stop at the traffic light, den u brake and release and brake again and release

i just changed to bendix standard at autobac...

the braking power, not bad. just used it for abt 30km only. will feedback after run in the pad. :)

when to complain that my rotor ko after 5 k km.... then they help me replace a new rotor for 1 side as only one side is affected. heng sia... :) thumbs up for autobac. dat is y i paid the premium last time.... haha

I am currently using EBC Greenstuff too. Not bad. Best I've used so far. So far have been thru Ferodo Zero, Mintex & Bendix Titanium-something (not Ultimate).

I got them from Works Performance at Lion Building #01-01.
They are the local distributor for EBC brake pads. Then I brought to my selected workshop to install.

If I don't remember wrongly, it's about $160 to buy direct, cash & carry. Workshops have their own 'supplier price' so alternatively, you can ask ur workshop to get for u and see if it'll be cheaper.
