Brake pads?

[hagiber]

Supposing I do decide to change my brake pads with something better, kailangan ba sa casa pa siya ipapalit o pwede na doon sa store na binilan ko ?

Medyo critical kasi kung brakes ang involved eh and regarding quality of workmanship, hindi pwede ang pwede na

hagiber,
Brake pad swaps are supposed to be a DIY thing. Upgraded brake pads are designed to fit like stock pads. So any competent shop can do the job.

Labor for a job like this was around Php 120.00 (front wheels only) when I had it done at RBL Quezon Ave.

Changing and cleaning the pads is DIY once you know the procedure and have some basic tools... Any gas station or local sho pcan do teh work.

One thing after installing fresh pads is that you should "bed" them first. To bed the pads properly, drive up to around 80kph on an empty road then brake hard to around 40-60kph... repeat this around twice or thrice.

Thanks for the info OTEP, one other question if you don't mind...

Will replacing the brake pads void the vehicle's warranty ?

hagiber,
It will void the warranty for the brakes. But who will know that you replaced the pads? Hehehe. Just put the stock ones back in when making a warranty claim.
