Brake Pad Wear in Malaysian City Traffic
Stop-start city driving in KL, PJ, JB, and Penang wears front brake pads 30–40% faster than highway-dominated driving. Expect 30,000–50,000 km front pad life in city conditions. Signs: squealing (wear indicator), pulsation on braking (warped disc). Always replace pads in axle pairs. Proton/Persona front pads (OEM RM 80–140) are adequate; semi-metallic pads offer better fade resistance for frequent highway trips.
