Get factory or OEM from a reputable brand (e.g. mintex, TRW, etc and you'll be fine).

what car are you driving?

original brake pads, or oem brake pads?

roughly about 80-150 inclusive of labour

[Aimnfire]

oh ok thanks

[Aimnfire]

kia cerato

 

not sure which one to choose

but most probably the cheaper ones

but if price different is only few bucks

might as well i go for a better type

 

so between 80-150....ok thanks i will take note of the pricing

thanks

'Nissinbo' Made in Japan..reasonably cheap n good...no regrets

[Aimnfire]

ahhh ok thanks

but how about if i just bought the brakepad

and went JB to install it?

 

in this case roughly how much is the cost range of buying just the brakepad?

 

are brakepad can fit most cars?

[Accord]

Some can be install on a few model of same made but mostly can't, price not very x but definately better then stock from my own experiences. Should not be any problem fixing anywhere lor.

[Aimnfire]

ok

but forgot to ask

where can i get this and roughly how much?

 

thank you

Bosch brakepads are relatively inexpensive. if i'm not wrong, it cost less than $30 for 1 pair.

 

u try call bosch singapore cust service hotline to set the brakepad part number meant for yr car, n ask them to refer a few distributor to u.

 

installation is from $20-$30 just to instal the pad.

 

iadvice that u also bleed yr brake fluid n sevice yr rear drum brakes. servicing of brakes inclusive of new brake fluid cost $30-$45.

 

I go to a workshop in Esso station along Lavender street, opps singapore casket. honest mechanic,reliable job.

diff brakepads for diff cars.. dun set wtong size.

 

if u wanna use back original kia pads, can go Song Yi at veerasamy road, they r korean car stockist. call raymond at 62973700. I think original kia brakepads is aroung $50+-60. he can also recommend a ws specialized in kia car.

 

I m using Icer brakepads @ $65. braking power same as original but tons of brake dust, cannot make it. try bosch lor.. cheap at less than $30, n bosch is reliable Oem maker for car parts.

Brother, if you are looking at better brakes compared to the stock brake pad, I will suggest you go for Mintex Performance Brake Pads which I am using for my ride too, it will brake a lot better than stock brake pads.

 

Price not expensive, you can check out Kia Club for the Group Buy.

Regarding brake dust, just wondering.

Why does some cars(especially euro cars) have so much brake dust?

Do they wear out faster?
