Check the master pump.the master pump cant hold the pressure that why when u brake the pedal will slowly drop to the floor

Not to say the pedal slowly drop to the floor. Is just that when floor the pedal the braking power like not much feel on it.

I own a Saga BLM as well. The brake is not so strong like other cars so you will have to brake earlier to stop properly. Also hard braking is useless so try downshifting to help you stop

Yes bro, I did downshift to slow down the car. As now the brake power is more worst really hope to get improve it!

How long does the pad n disc need bedding in?

go to the sc when u r due for servicing, usually they allow warranty claim with one condition...u do 1 major service there...then u r back on track...give them strong reasons for not servicing yr car at proton....

just some pointers for you koh.

1. Try changing back to stock pads and see how the brakes perform...if still very worst then proceed to no.2 diagnostic method.

2. open your bonnet and have a friend to press the brake pedal firmly and hold it...then you check the master cylinder area to check for leaks, also the brake caliper are and the rear drum cylinder area . If there's no leak but the brake pedal is still sinking down it could be your master cylinder internal O-rings are leaking brake pressure.

Refer to below diagram

but like wat other sifu said...check your brake servo condition too.

My Myvi had a rather similar problem, when initial press of brake there is slight bite but it is not continuously biting. When the brake pedal almost reach floor will have additional bite usually causing the car to jump over a bump as I was unable to accurately control the braking speed. good thing my foreman is experienced. Found out it was due to master pump.

How to justify the master pump is giving problem?
