Re: Advice on Brake Replacement / Upgrades

If your car sees a lot of rain, don't bother with drilled disks, as they can crack between the holes.

I have DBA slotted disks, pagid semi race pads. and decent brake fluid. They pull up so well your eyes will pop!! hehe

just changed to x-drilled because of the looks... dont think the braking performance will be enhanced till i can feel it...

i went this way, checked pml original parts (disc+pads)... then using this budget, i worked out being able to get brembos + pagids (sport) plus some savings... certainly a good and economical upgrade from stock...

Whats the cost of the disc+pads in PML? I tried enquiring on the pricing of parts in PM a few times. I couldn't get through most of the time but when i did, the enquires assistant on the line wasn't sure, :angry:

A pair of stock pads should set u back not more than $100 from engsoon. Rotors not more than $500, but a piece or a pair i'm not sure... this should give u a gauge.

Re: Advice on Brake Replacement / Upgrades

just changed a pair of front rotors for 250 and pads for 110 excluding labour. j4c and bvo is quite close in pricing.

Sounds about right...
Reckon labour should set you back another 40-80.
