Brake Pad Life in Malaysian Traffic
Stop-start city driving in KL, PJ, and JB wears front brake pads faster — expect 30,000–50,000 km in city use vs 60,000+ km on highways. Signs of worn pads: squealing noise or longer stopping distance. OEM pads (RM 90–160 front) are adequate for normal use. For spiral highway driving, semi-metallic pads offer better fade resistance. Always replace pads in axle pairs.
