    Kapag papalitan ang front brake pads ng 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS, mas recommended ba na CASA na direcho pagawa para original parts na gamitin? Or ok lang yung mga Japanese replacement brands outside na cheaper?

    casa replacement is hecho derecho and is the most expensive choice.
    you can buy the pads in the casa, and have your local mechanic install them, to save on labor cost.
    you can buy the pads at a genuine oem store, and have them installed by the store's tambay mechanic, and probably save a bit more.
    you can buy a good non-oem replacement and have friendly mechanic to install it, at even more savings.
    you can save on labor cost, if you install it yourself!
    heh heh.

    Suggest you buy OEM as some non OEM replacements tend to be noisy and eat through the rotor.

    Original Bendix is good and quite popular. "Original" because it seems that there are fake Bendix in the market already.

    I suggest buy the brake pads from casa, have it installed outside. Or if you are a DIY type of person (like me), install it yourself.

    Replacing the pads is easy. What's tiring is jacking up the car and removing the wheels.

    I see. So does the casa provide original Bendix as their OEM part?

    Get Brembo OEM replacement pads if they have them for the Mirage. What they offer me for my Fozzie is cheaper than the one from the casa.

    bendix ph and brembo ph both on fb

    speedyfix and motech and other shops can install them. you can also ask if they have brake pads for your model. make sure they lube the caliper pins..

    Do installers usually lubricate these? Or do you have to specifically ask them to?

    they don't they don't do it by the book. coz they don't know or don't care or both. they don't have the proper grease anyway which could be a bit difficult to find...

    Motech has Hi-Q and Bendix. They claim thqt Hi-Q is better than Bendix at a cheaper price of 1.2K. Labor is 550. Any truth to this? Hi-Q is a Korean brand.

    Or Brembo all the way? I'm trying to contact AutoPerformancePH's landline and it seems to be broken. They don't reply in Messenger as well. *Egan101, how'd you contact them?

    Lol! Getting the Brembo front brake pads from autoperformance ph directly costs just 2.5K compared to 3.7K from Speedyfix. It's amazing how much they put on top
