[Darth Evillus]

I’m using Brembo Max original rotors 262mm with EK4 calipers as well. Using ADVICS pads.. total silence.

Total silence huh. Prob gonna send my brakes for inspection to see if my pad sitting nicely anot d..

Brake pad noise can be many reasons. Pads, something stuck in between, disc wear, pad wear. Got friend take out clean, sandpaper then no more sound, but for some later on come back....

Agreed, and It's quite an irritating small issue especially when discs and pads look relatively new

Its very irritating...
Even on my stock BLM...now got that 'eeeeiik' sound. I am sure its due to road debris stuck on the pad as my housing area got construction site with heavy vehicle depositing debris on the road.

Take out clean, sand regularly.....

Thats the problem....later i gatal and change the pad for the sake of trying out another brand. The last 2 set was changed when its only 1/2 worn out.

Anyway, good reason to try out my tool set bought from Lzd. Next up to buy is an OBD reader, then plastic ramp,then electronic solder set +kit...the list goes on....

You dare to lie under a car on a plastic ramp?

this ramp is the very low height...u will laugh when u see it.1-2 inch lift,useful for oil change.
the higher one...not a chance

If so low, why not use some wooden planks stacked upon each other?

Can use those mini jack.....

Solid wood dont want? Flimsy plastic looks better?

Easier and lighter to work with plus water proof. my 'workshop' area prone to flood. If wood will leave that brown water stain.

Furthermore all the beruti wood already used as chopping board for ducks/ayam hutan...Wah i exposed so muh of my personal life to u all...

I already have 2 floor jack...3ton and another 2ton.Why 2? 1 is smaller and easier to carry around. The pajero already have 2ton or 3ton cylinder jack. Lots of jack already but no mini ramp. At times i just need small lift to makes a job easier. At times the jack will block my access.

Anyway..back to braking topic.
Anyone own a blm here can verify how easy it is to get the brakes to a temperature where we can smell hot steel?
I am not sure if something is jam which i highly doubt as car rolls without resistance but i drove in moderate pace for about 10km with multiple traffic light stop and upon reaching the destination i can smell my brakes. Wont happen on my waja. I think both are on Trestor semi pad.

Jack the car up to test.rotation by hand. If your rims gets hot after a normal drive, then something isn't right

 

[vr2turbo]

Yup, like bro. parakey mentioned, touch the rims, if pads binding, the rims gets pretty hot.....
