Corolla SE Saloon 2002 1NZ-FE Swapped

[def3nder]

Suggest me any good quality two or three brake pads because idk which brands are in the market and brake fluid as well.

And also what do you suggest for organic, metallic, ceramic etc brakes for this car. As you know this shape corolla, braking is not very good at all. i was almost got saved myself hitting into suzuki bolan with no brake lights at somewhere 50 to 60km/hr. As soon as i have applied brakes, I felt like car is not stopping Cant do anything else and other than thinking "gae lag gae" but it stopped at inch distance. but Alhumdulillah.. car didnt hit into that suzuki bolan.

Currently using. Sml disc pads.

Engine Swap. The repair will almost cost you the same price.

Buy original Toyota pads, and original Toyota brake fluid. Do not compromise. At any cost

when was the last time you flushed the brake fluid (brake oil)

[def3nder]

I am owning this car from three years. I have not done it yet, idk about the previous owner tbh, when he had done. At the time of purchase he only said to change the engine oil after 1k Drive and get it tuned and change transmission fluid after 10k drive but i got it change earlier. I will ask the mechanic tomorrow, because I keep the same mechanic for this car, as he has all the service history of this car. Plus he is also known honest and good mechanic in the town, so i dont bother taking car to anyone else.

Is your mechanic aware of the concept of changing brake fluid?

[def3nder]

Probably he would know, but tbh i dont know the procedure. Can you please explain. And also how would i know if there is an actual need of changing brake fluid. In case if he is ditching me i will catch him right away.

BTW, i have no issue at all with slow braking, Just facing the issue of sliding and moving to left side and feeling like brakes are not applied in case of emergency braking at or over 60km/hr speed.

Also difference between dot3, 4 and 5 please?

DOT 3 & 4 absorb water DOT 5 does not, and it is silicone based fluid

I prefer AISIN after market products, Akebono is also a reliable brand but not commonly available

DOT 3 & 4 absorb water DOT 5 does not, and it is silicone based fluid

So absorbing water is good or bad? I have seen at the top brake bottle fluid cap. it says dot3.
