myvi brake system

[vr2turbo]

Test drive my car and you will know why upgrade the brakes..yes myvi has ABS.

Now with Trestor Blue Advantage is better or still bad?

some got abs some dont have depent on the spec...

p/s: if dont have abs and wanna have strong brakes, ask sifu vr2turbo to suggest rubber to stick your car on the road

Brakes no bite, good tyres also no use......hahahhahhaha

I will be changing a new sets of tyres soon. Might go for Michelin ps3 for my 15 in rim. The only thing that I seriously want to upgrade is my brake kit. Almost had accident a few times thanks to the current brake

Mine is a 1.3 first gen se. Well so long as the brake is good I don't really mind it's from which car. The problem I'm having now is when I got stucked in a traffic jam, the brake disc felt 'slippery' while stepping on my brake. I suspect the disc is pretty much unusable anymore given that it's lifespan has exceeded 7 yrs

Ok I used to be in the same situation as you. I hate the Myvi brakes too. And I've pretty much changed everything in the whole brake system except rear discs. I've seen too many people who have problems with rear discs because there isn't a proper length handbrake cable for the Myvi to properly pull the rear discs. So forget about rear discs.

I've swapped to a new master pump, full braided hoses, DOT5.1 oil (irrelevant), Myvi 1.5 calipers, custom brake stopper and stock brake pads and I can tell you the braking now is way better. The pedal feel is still somewhat spongy but up until a certain point it stiffens and the bite is good. I've triggered ABS several times on this car and quite frankly it's quite good. Lightweight car and ABS is a good combo. Some other things that'll help you is good tyres and good suspension. Soft mushy suspension will not react fast enough for braking feel since there's nose diving on heavy braking.

Brake bleeding will definitely be a good 1st step and flush out your old oil. If it's any other colour than clear yellow, then you have dirty oil which is not good for brake performance.

Better, but still not up to what I want...so my next upgrade will be the rotors.

Good tyres help a bit mah...high friction. Maybe help 0.01m stopping distance hehe

If you change the rotor, make double sure it's the 17mm one. Look at the circumference of the disc, usually the measurement is printed there. Myvi rotors got 14mm, 14.5mm, 15mm and the 1.5L is 17mm.

Some if not all the local Brembo ones are 14mm which is damn thin. Shitty brake feel.

If change rotor might as well get the drilled or slotted ones already.

Yeap..want to change to slotted one but wait till the current one kong first hehe.

Yah would like to know if there is bigger servo that can pnp or not...

Got also I wouldn't fit it in. It'll kacau the ABS module

Why? ABS module at the brake calipers, right?

No la.. there's a ABS canister or module something just below the fusebox. Too much pressure into that thing I suspect will cause leaks man.

Anyway, right now with new everything, my brakes a bloody AWESUMMMMMMM

Hitachi pads not original like your previous set?

 

[cvkit17]

Ya original. But there are 2 original pad...1 is hitachi and another is local OEM. Huge diff in prices. Hitachi is around RM110 - 130 and the local one is less than RM50
