tried powerplus before, ok naman. its a good alternative to refacing. around 1k plus each for a normal sedan.

Be sure to replace both at the same time.

thanks guys! heto na-canvass ko:

powerplus 2,400.00
federal 1,900.00
taiwan-made 1,100.00

per set yan. suggestion din mekaniko palit brake pads, bendix.

^^^ Bendix is one of the most recommended, ok yan :thumbup:

powerplus is better than the generic taiwan ones imo

whoa! nagtaas na siguro yung powerplus. before, around 1.5k lang kuha ko.

aside from what mbeige said, you have to install new pads as well para sure ka na walang magiging problem.

on a sidenote, are there any shops who can properly bed-in new brake pads? can it be done while the car is on a hoist?

i read the instructions about the brake pads that i bought but there's no place here in manila where you can run properly bed-in the pads.

What's "bed-in"?

**non-vtec** · April 7th, 2008 12:20 AM

break-in period ng brakes. it has something to do with the transfer of film from the pads to the rotors to fully maximize the pads.

Ang alam kong dapat i-break-in are the rotors, not the pads. I think you wash the new rotors with a solvent since the surface is coated with something to prevent it from rusting out (like when already installed on cars - the edges rust out).
