OEM pads got it changed around $70 at the workshop I frequent. That $135/$145 can get me a set of sport pads.

I still got the front brake pad wif me. Already used 50% from my previous "car-A" (driven by my bro). anyway I scrap my own cerato "car-B" abt 5-days ago. FYI, I've not change it since day-1. So I supposed the 50% that used on "car-A" can last another 2-3 years.

yes it went bust last year or early this year..there is a new tenant at the premises...heng never buy svc package or anything like that with them. i googled and khang is closed..some ppl at bmw forums are unhappy coz got svc package with them. Autobacs is $135 for front brakes only..all in tho. thanks for the info anand. themostextreme how old is your cerato when you scrapped it? the mechanic at autobacs says...brake pads still ok...told him next mth im driving to kl...(first time) ok or not..he say ok...but now when i brake i do hear a slight screeching sound..usually at the initial braking. did rotate and balance tyres at autobacs tho. now 50/50 to change or not to change..the pads. advise are most welcomed!

Hmm..dont know who else does atf flush..i have not done that before. Regarding the screeching sounds..finally got it checked..and it seems theres a groove on the rear brake rotors..thus the screeching sound...checked it at spc..and to change both rear rotors costs arnd $380. *gulps* i think wait for year end bonus ..coz brake pads still thick according to the mech.
