I have been using Ferodo brake pad for my brother Myvi since I start to drive the car.. Ferodo is a performance brake pad manufacture in UK. It is actuall design are meant for racing car but they do offer pads made for passenger car.
I really love about this brake pad.. it can really stop the car quickly... so for me... i only need to apply the brake at the very last moment..... and wack the corner hard........ as people used to quote... cheap thing aint good, good thing aint cheap... so there is a price to pay to use this pad.. funny thing is the price is not on the pad itself.... the brake pad wasn't that expensive.. the price is probably RM 15 more than original.. the 1st and the last time i bought is at RM78.
You must be wondering why I said is the 1st and the last time.... i install the ferodo brake pad on 15 Feb 09 and the brake pad wears out today.. 6 Feb 10.. and i would conclude i used for a year... throughout the year, the brake pad never fail in terms of performance.. BUT one draw back is, the original brake disc doesn't last... the damn brake pad "eating" or skimming the disc... now the thickness of my brake disc is half is size..which force me to change the disc today and use back original brake pad.... else the entire brake disc will break in half if there is an emergency brake. This is where you pay the price.. or I pay the price.... but i didnt regret using it.. love the brake pad for those who can afford and love good braking performance...
My car currently at the workshop, my friend too busy today so the car gotta sleep there...
Pretty much huge service this time, I will update more later
