ok

Ok wira ori uses 4 lugs.... try looking for 5 lugs, better performance.... chop shop surely got one, can modify other cars one also,maybe u need to get the bracket's for ur car... It will cost you not more then 1k + installation + pads.... do not get new one's not worth it....

oh u mean....da thing where the brake calipers shud attach near the rear absorber is it?...u mean its sumkinda braket for the disk brake/brake calipers to attach?......

wa so expensive la rm 1000....well if the 4 lugs one can get cheap ka?...i no need the 5 lugs la hard to mod later got no wide options of rims to choose sumore 5 lugs rims are expensive...so i better stick to the original one.....

mayb ill chnage to recond/used part disc brake like wira 1.6 or 1.8 one....

thanks man aprecitae ur help...but u got any comment or suggestion on other =itesm>,,,,,for disc brakes

 

[rattan]

So what brake pads are u planning to settle on ?

 

[nicteh]

my fr nitech.....got a prob here with my wira brake conversion too..recently i got a drum brake but i wanted to change it to disc brake....wat u think the oem best affordable brand for this ?...only REAR disc brake.......any suggestion.....

BTW..if i need to change it disc brake wat are the items i need to consider?....like if i buy the rear brake kits ....i got the disc rotor, brake calipers, brake pad, brake lining...wat else other items i need to buy any?......

it very hard to find a sec hand or a used part in recond (wira 1.6/1.8 disc brake) shop/chop shops nowadays......i tried many shop but they dun hav these itesm......buy the new orignal its expensive....

im not familiar with rear disc. but b4 that,check the disc rotor condition,see whether the disc skimmed b4 and how thick it is. and make sure the disc surface are flat and even.
Dont get Ori 1,coz not worth it.
i saw got few guys are selling,if not mistaken is around 600-800 without installation....cheers for your new setup :)

Can fit la... not much of a problem... only that locating the item wont be easy... it wont even be cheap....

 

[CraZieThug5057]

oh really

oh really well how much is the price for the brake kits in halfcut shops?.....normally?....

 

[rattan]

If the normal one's it retail at RM 600 depends on the length of service and condition of the rotor... u can find the normal protong once at chop shop... no need to go for evo or any other expensive one's... just grab the normal disc brake set for protong and get a good pair of pads will do..

U will be rolling like a champ, stopping like a bimmer.... ;-)

nyway....im thingkin of buying the 1.6 or 1.8 rear disk brake calipers for my wira n the disk rotor i got a shop to buy from its a slotted disk....do u think it can be fiited...coz that day the guy says i need to get a normal lancer car rear disk brake calipers to fit with the rotors...........


any idea?....

 

[rattan]

Yes very true, if can u pay some money to the guy drop yr business card to him and im sure he will call u n reserve one for u when he is in stock... my 2 cent...

 

[streetking]

some of my friend say ferodo brake pad is very good and not expensive. try to log in www.speedtuneperformance.com

 

[rattan]

Really how much does it cost for the front- 1 pair ? My car brake pads are almost due to change... maybe can try this if its cheap.... ask yr fren and see how much ?

 

[rattan]

Checked out the link above just emailed them for their GT spec disc rotor.. looks good to me... they have ventilated one's too... I emailed them asking price the price including installation for my Proton WiSE front set... Will ask them the price for the brake pads once they reply...

 

[tewwyble]

using bendix metal king gold.
covered 2 track sessions, 2/3 pads gone. hitting 150-160kph before late and hard braking @ 100m marker down the straights.

will i buy again? yes. cos it does it job well stopping my car when i need it and it's wallet friendly.

 

[rattan]

Well my current stock brake pads for my wira aeroback SE tends not to makan when i apply it on harsh corners while speeding... like coming down from genting... if apply if for one long strech it will not makan very well... is it due to brake pads or my rotor ?

 

[deftons]

hmmm...i just changed my wira 1.5 bradke pad with Trestor..is was tremendously great!!give u extra bites especially during wet condition.. ;) the price is rather dirt cheap..got mine for RM30 per pair

cheers~

 

[rattan]

Only RM 30 ? That is cheaper then the OEM one's... what is afraid is after when it wears out abit it will start makan your rotor... anyway isit dusty ? I beleive not all cheap things are bad... if its good i wanna try it out too... keep on checking on y rotor n pads level to update us... your car is experiment now... hehe

 

[tykoh]

i bought bendix metal king gold on saturday and had it install in a workshop... it just cost RM78... and i read in the forum some of the price is more RM100... how to know which one is real one? now i worry about the skim of the rotor.... but the braking power did improve from the stock one...

 

[rattan]

Post some picture of the box la... some sifu here will surely know one... Maybe u got a good deal ! Maybe u got a imitation set, maybe u got the old stock, maybe got promotion, maybe your luck damn good the guy wrongly charge u less, maybe the guy going to brankcrupt so give u cost to cost, maybe the guy lazy to keep stock so want to dispose to u,

So many maybe la, dunno la why u get cheap... just use la... hehe
