hey baiskee. ok nga yun.almost got myself a brembo, kaso hindi nag-fit sayang. anyway, pagawa mo sa labas yan para next time alam mo na pwede na i-D-I-Y di ba? :D

kanila speedyfix ko pinagawa.
pinush back yung thingy that presses on your pads kasi medyo pudpod na luma kong pads so kailangan bawasan yung brake fluid reservoir. makes sense naman kasi aapaw yung brake fluid coz of the displaced fluid.
di ko naisip kailangan pala yun.

pero mukhang pwede ngang i-diy kung matiyaga ka.

[baiskee]

siguro DIY ko na lang after this....di kaya makalimutan ko din gawin sa tagal pa mapudpud nun..hehe

Sa Akin R-Spec lang pinalagay ko sa on all 4 wheels, mura pa P1480 lang lahat inabot parts nga lang pala iyon, 1 set front disc pads 780 1 set rear disc pad set 700. So far ok pa rin naman ang performance nito walang annoying brake dust at squeeks.

kumpara dun sa stock brake pads ko dati mas malakas naman ang kapit nito

madali lang diy basta you have the tools. pinakamahirap na task na diyan yung pag push back ng pistons and bleeding the air (kelangan may tutulong sayo bumomba )

di na kelangan mag bleed kapag brake pads lang ang pinalitan. in pushing back the pistons, just use the old pads, tapos pokpokin lang.

it's also good to use a light sandpaper to clean the rotors and clear them of any buildup. tapus check nyo narin kung pantay yung wear. if not then remove the disc and have it refaced na agad para pantay for the new pads you will be installing.
