[QUOTE="flash, post: 59019, member: 62"] Sounds like you cooked your brakes on your down Genting, which is pretty normal if you have been "riding" your brakes all the way down. The "proper" way to go down Genting is using engine braking in conjunction with the brakes. That way, you would not overcook your brakes and your engine. Oh, how to use engine braking? Just shift your auto out of "D" into "2" or even "1". Try to maintain a lower speed and just tap on the brakes to slow down and not hold the brakes till kingdom come. Been there and seen so many cases of overcooked brakes at the police station down at the foothill (and have almost been a rear-ending victim when a dumbass driver tried to follow my speed down Genting). Used to work up in Genting and have been driving up and down between the hilltop and Awana in my jalopy and have not suffered brakes problems. Touchwood. :ph34r: [/QUOTE]
