1. EBC - Not sure price but maybe Rm 400??
2. hawk - (Must Import tho) Rm 700 or so for both front & rear total
3. Pagid - Rm 1k plus.

Rear no necessary. Just stk is ok. Majority of braking is down up front.

during the brake lifespan, 70% will makan front and 30% rear, meaning u only need to change your rear for the 1st time when u change 3rd time for your front. (this is told by a brake manufacturer Metal-King)

So far I changed brake pad twice for my E46. Use back original pads but my wear pattern is even for front and rear. Could this be due to the front pad being thicker than the rear?

After upgraded my rims to 19 then I get my front pads wearing faster than my rear.

Anyway if I remember correctly, original pads for my 318 N42 cost me high 300 for front and low 300 for rear. Price includes pads (of course), front and rear sensor, labour charges.

Don't know if it is expensive or not.
