Hi everyone, What are the best aftermarket disk brake pads in the market ? Thank you for your kind information and guidance.

Im using Eclipse cross for 2 years now, so far 25000 KM done, in last service from Unit#d Mot#rs adviced to change the brake Pads on next service, and cost will be around 58000 including labour charges My questions are 1. Normally at how many KM we need to Change brake pads? 2. I think 58000 is bit too much, is it correct? and can i do it somewhere else for lower cost? I imported personally from Australia so no local company warranty

I recently brought brand name "ADVICS" and it lasted around 20,000Km for Hiace KDH van, the dealer said that even Genuine brake pads of KDH van will last only 20,000Kms. Is that the normal mileage for brake pads?

I am expecting to use an aftermarket brake pad for my vehicle. I found that the substitute front pad is not coming with an antisquel shim. However, I could detach the shim from the OEM pad as it was lightly glued to the pad. Though this shim perfectly fits the aftermarket brake pad, I wish to glue it to the brake pad body. Anybody knows a suitable adhesive for that. I've head something called antisquel paste, but I am not sure it would work and if so, place to find out in Kandy. Many thanks in advance for expert comments...

Hi All, I am about to replace the front brake pads of my Lancer CS1. I have checked the price from Unit#d Mot#rs and they sell it for Rs.14,800/= However I was able to find after market products around Rs.4000/= from other places. Is there any real difference exists between genuine Mitsubishi brake pads and after market products? Is it still safer to go with genuine Mitsubishi brake pads when considering the price?

Dear Friends, (My vehicle – Perodua Viva Elite Standard Auto – Automatic Transmission model without ABS - Mileage 30,000km) Today morning 30,000km service done at Unit#d Mot#rs – Orugodawatta. Just after that, replaced front brake pads (Genuine Perodua Brake pads). I was with the vehicle throughout the process. In the evening when I return back home, I heard a sound from right hand side rear wheel, when release the brake paddle. (The same sound I have observed when car start to move following day/s after a car wash and it disappears.) Today I heard this sound time to time on my return home. After I reached home, I touched front rims and they were extremely hot like when brake bind happens. But no burning smell (Kara ganda). No performance failure in braking but felt small difficulty in accelerating the vehicle. I am bit confused. My questions are, When new brake pads installed, is it possible to overheat relevant rims soon after? (Drove only 35km just after brake pad replacement). Can it be a brake bind issue? 2. Sound from rear wheel, is it normal due to car wash? (Also I will wait and see tomorrow) Another fact: Last time (in 2012) replaced brake pad model code was Perodua 04465-BZ120 (by Unit#d Mot#rs) Today model code was Perodua 04465-18R02 by Unit#d Mot#rs. (After I came home only I observed this after seen previous brake pad box). Just sent an e-mail to Perodua Customer Service Malaysia asking the difference between both model codes. (To verify this with Unit#d Mot#rs I have to wait till Monday as they have closed on weekends). Guys, let me have your valuable instructions.
