Wah so ex ah? [sweatdrop]

 

Wanted to change mine to brembo disc brakes for all 4.

If it cost $2k just to change my rear to disc, then if change 4 sure cost me a bomb.

Anyone know the price?

The brake rotor itself is no-ex...around $300 for a pair. But the convert the rear brake drum to disc is ex. It's a complicated job, eg. customised bracket for the caliper, mounting for the disc, brake pad, etc.

OIC, so the cost is for the conversion from drum to disc.

So if i only change my front disc to brembo should be quite cheap?

Below $500?

 

What should i do to make my brakes more effective and sensitive?

My car is quite new but i feel that the brake not good enough.

Go for the poor mans' brakes upgrade lor........

 

- Get better pads

- Get braided hoses

- Install brake stopper.

 

Errr..... not necessarily in that order.

Do what Dwoon has suggested. It will help improve your brake feel...but not too much. How the brake feel has got to do with a number reasons/parts eg. size of brake rotor. size type of caliper (single,2 or 4 port), type of brake hose, type of brake pad, chassis design, etc.
