I would like to warn every one not to buy this Brand called SHOJI, I bought a set from Stronger Auto Parts Subang,
on 19 January 2014, after using it for less than 3 months, my steering started vibrate each time I brake.

I have replace it with Bosch Disc and the problem has been solved, I ask the shop can I get a refund if there are
any problems and they say yes they will claim it for me from Bosch, they say so far they have not had any claims
and so far the disc is performing very well together with a new set of Bosch brake pads.

I then took the Shoji to the shop I bought from and ask for a refund, they told me there are a few customers doing
the same and the company distributing this brand (Shoji) refuse to give a refund unless it is used less than a month
old. They even give me the name & number of the company distributing this brand ( Capital Marketing in 757, Batu
4 1/2, Jalan Ipoh).

I called them, and the person there made all sort of excuse, saying the manufacture will not honour the claim as the disc
brake has already been used more than 1 month, the boss was very busy, the boss was not around...etc, etc...
I even told him that I will warn others about this and he can say, Go Ahead, this is just too much!

I feel I have been CHEATED! This product is really CRAP! angry.gif

So warning to everyone, use this brand (SHOJI) at your own RISK!!!!!!

Please read all fine prints on the claims T&C carefully first, and if you think you have a case take it to the tribunal.
If T&C mention 1 month period, then you would not have a case.

As for the brake disc Shoji brand I am using them in my VR4. Almost 2 years already and serving me well. Using Trestor Blue Advantage pads with them.

For your case, the Shoji disc were used with what brake pads? Were they new or the old pads fitted to new disc.
