Is this for your XV? AutoperformancePH (local Brembo dealer) quoted me 4k for the front pads of my XT.

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

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?

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...

Ok. So if I decide to not do the lahor myself, then I'm out of luck with proper caliper greasing before brake pad installation? That sucks.

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

i've seen my sister's Lynx w/ seized pins so i do proper greasing w/ my cars. i buy the grease from True Value. wurth brand

so just buy the grease then have your mechanic do it. if he's any sort of competent then he'll have an idea. if not, watch a youtube video and instruct him what to do

How much did you buy the Wurth brand of grease lubricant?
