Sir how about Hyundai? Which brand has the best bite and least visible dust? KDM factory fitted pads were great but the OEMs available locally have a lot of dust, don't bite as well and are noisy. Been looking for KDM factory fitted pads but it seems nobody carries them.

Where do you buy locally? I bought mine sa Goodgear or sa Seiring di naman ma dust. Anyways, search mo sa FB TCG autoparts. They sell different kind of brakepads. I saw yung Hi-Q OEM daw ng Hyundai/Kia pati Chevy

Sige bro check ko maya. Yung EBC I have their Greenstuff sa Navara, malakas din dust, also noisier than stock. Medyo maingay din pero non metallic ang sound. I also have Yellowstuff in stock, hopefully better performance.

Nakailang palit ka na bro? So ramdam mo talaga na mas pangit yung non-kdm pads?

I don't believe ICER that is being sold to our market is "Made in Spain" since yung box packaging palang ang panget na ng quality, if yung mark na Made in Spain ay nakalagay lang sa label or sticker then mabilis lang magpaprint ng sticker sa Philippines na "Made in Spain" then ididikit lang sa box ng ICER brake pads. Kelangan mo tignan mabuti yung packaging kung may nakaprint mismo sa kahon if Made in Spain. Kasi bawal na sa China, Taiwan, Korea and etc... maglagay ng peke na country of origin like Made in Germany and etc... dahil heavy penalty if ginawa ng manufacturer yun.

Basically now there are only 3-4 OEMS in the market,

Japanese
1. Advics - Made in Taiwan or Outsourced from Taiwan for the aftermarket
2. Akebono - Made in Japan
3. Nissin - Made in Japan

Korean
1. Hi-Q - Made in Korea

US
1. TRW - Outsourced from China for aftermarket

Replacement brand
1. Bendix - Outsourced from Thailand and Malaysia factories
2. Bosch - Outsourced from different countries

Bad private company's brands
1. LKC - Malaysia, Nesinbo(BLACK packaging) - Taiwan fake copy of Nisshinbo, Akebono(RED packaging) - Malaysia fake copy of Akebono, Optimum - Thailand, Rico - Made in China, R-spec - Taiwan and China
G-Brake - Outsourced from Taiwan or China, NiBK - Outsourced from China, Asuki - Outsourced in Taiwan or China.

Brands which have no mention of "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN" for example "MADE IN JAPAN", "MADE IN USA" on the packaging itself and label, you should stay away from this kinds of brands since they don't mention where the country of origin it is made in, how can you trace the manufacturer? If you encounter an accident from using their pads.
