whoa! nagtaas na siguro yung powerplus. before, around 1.5k lang kuha ko.

aside from what mbeige said, you have to install new pads as well para sure ka na walang magiging problem.

on a sidenote, are there any shops who can properly bed-in new brake pads? can it be done while the car is on a hoist?

i read the instructions about the brake pads that i bought but there's no place here in manila where you can run properly bed-in the pads.
