Brake pads OEM Hyundai or DIXCEL
Reviews
If they’re readily available? Dixcel is for us the perfect blend of track/street usage. Dixcel S, or Dixcel Z if you can live with the little squeak.
Pros: good track/street blend
Cons: slight squeak
I have a 21' Hyundai Accent which was basically the sedan version of the Venue before the Accent got axed. I live in the NE so I've encountered plenty of road salt as well as coastal salt/driving through minor coastal flooding. My car has basically zero rust underneath. I wash it immediately (within 24 hours) of driving through coastal flooding or winter treated roads, or as soon as temps go above freezing. Shit, I've got 80k on this car on the original brake pads and there's NO rust on the rotors or calipers, which to me is an unexpected surprise for someone who drives in corrosive conditions.
Pros: no rust, original pads
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Mileage: 80000 km
On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.
Pros: ran all the time
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Since purchasing in summer of 24 have replaced the battery and both back and front brakes. Also very strict with oil changes. Loving everything about it.
Pros: loving everything
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mileage: 48000 km
I have a 2013 Hyundai accent glass. But it works and no serious issues. Just the common brakes and tires. Great on gas. Has some pep. And fits 5 people easily. Big trunk space.
Pros: Great on gas, fits people
Cons: Audio sucks
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with 30,000 and still has the original pads and aren't worn out yet.
Pros: original pads, not worn
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 30000 km
The \u201ctaga-alagang\u201d mechanic nung seller said it was just a \u201cbraking issue\u201d since matagal daw na unused yung unit. Need daw ireplace yung brake pads.
Pros: replace brake pads
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Mileage: 67000 km
Tune is pointless for NA in terms of power figures you'll feel the difference a bit but power wise you won't make enough to justify the cost, upgrade the brakes tbh, you get good options from dixcel.
Pros: feel the difference a bit
Cons: power wise not enough
only thing I hate about it are the brakes, but it's a hyundai thing, the brake pedal travel is too low
Cons: low pedal travel
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Late last year had the brakes completely fail on a 3 day old Pallisade and the dealer told the victims that yes it’s a known problem. No there’s not a fix, have a nice day and let them drive off in it. I basically begged them to pick anything else but they wouldn’t hear it, that is until they almost crashed with my two nephews in tow.
Cons: brakes completely fail, known problem, no fix
Vehicle:
Hyundai
