We are looking at around $80 for the labour. I wouldn't recommend you to buy your own brake pads if you are not familiar with your car.

 

Last time, I bought my own brake pads and ask my mechanic to change, then, in the end, my brake pads cannot fit, I have to buy the brake pads from my mechanic.

Wah. Even guru like you also can't get it right?

Which stockist did you buy from? Those I buy from usually help me check via chassis number.

Actually for the 1-2 years I've been hearing some minor squealing when i brake. But i feel braking performance is still ok. 
Lol i honestly didn't think anything about it cos i assumed the workshop would always want me to change brake pads at the sign of wear, but they never say anything.

buy online got a few danger.

for example same chassis pi and ad. front and rear brake different system. the size of the front brake pad could be different.

and esp buying from china , need check extra careful of right and left side

, cos they left hand drive, certain item that is link to the steering , u buy over could be different, for example steering hose or steering pump. the outlet for the hose could be on wrong side.

Fitinparts database is somehow linked to LTA. I just need to type my VRN and their webby would link me to the car model and MY with all associated parts they have available for the car. 

Do be careful for where to select for parts pick up though as they have 2 warehouses.

Once my WS got the pads for me, and didn't fit. I bought online from US instead and fit perfectly!
