What brake pad U choose for your car? Cheap? Good? Genuine ?

[ismailmiller]

Any suggestion for 2006-2012 IS250 Brake Pad? Mine is ceramic, the brake dust damn hard to maintain as my rims gets ruined every 3 days. Better to get stock or any good ones to recommend with similar performance as stock?

Ceramic pads give the least dust. I am on them.  Rims stay clean after weeks. Downside is less jiak. If your rims get dirty after a few days, I doubt you have ceramic pads. Maybe your WS bluff you. Try Akebono ceramic pads next time.

It's a blessing to wash the rims that kind of reminds me I am priveliged to have  wheels to take care of. 

 

Anyway still on stock brake but gonna change to that purple brake pad NIBK which I often used in the past. Minimum brake dust too.

The dust might be more from your rotor instead of the pad.

If the dust is brownish tint and your pad wear not much most likely iron from your rotors.

I am using dixcel type m pads. It is alot more cleaner and no less jiak (my subjective feeling) than the stock ap racing pads they replaced. It is so clean i basically dont need to wash my rims at all now.

Calliper, pad and rotor were apr kit. It was super dusty. Then i did some research and decided to change pads to dixcel type m. Around $400 for 1 set for front. As a comparison, the dust simply disappeared and the braking performance in my butt feel was actually better and more jiak. I said it is no less jiak just to be less exegerate.

Some people would say the rotors could be wearing out faster and rotors are more expensive than pads. My rotors are 3 years old and half used by the dixcel m pads. Cannot conclude this at this point.

I scrapped cars 10 years always on original brake pads.

People change too often.

PIE a bit of down hill slope brake.

A bit of a bend brake.

Accelerate to behind a lorry and then brake.

One taxi driver I saw kept accelerating and then brake. If I was the passenger I would be throwing up.

Some drivers drive on highway with the brake light permanently on.

That means they are gently resting their foot on the brake!

No wonder keep changing pads.

I am very stupid. If I was smart instead of posting this

I should be buying shares in brake pad companies.

Think how much money I could be making instead of wasting time in MCF.

Bought from stockist? I think good alternative to original pads.

yes, bought from the same local stockist and the price now is $60 cheaper than 6 years ago

[Gnahp]

done

old vs new

when the pad wear down to the brake wear sensor, it grind and break the wire away, causing an open circuit that trigger the reminder message

torque up the sliding pin bolts to 25Nm

[ismailmiller]

I replaced a new stock brake pad for my IS250... No more brake dust and the braking is quite good actually. 

[Gnahp]

I found the rear brake pads are thin when I replace the front ones a while ago

my car still has 12 months to go before COE expires 

don't think the rear pads can last a year

bought new ATE ceramic rear brake pads today

Hi..can I check what pads you changed to?

[Yeobh]

Besides checking  the pad thickness, it is best to check the rotor disc thickness. Wear down thin rotor disc will generate high vibrations when the brake is applied.
