Bendix pads

[Limbo]

Hi i've read the pad thread above but just wanted to ask this as it didn't cover what i wanted to know.

Currently running stock ITR pads which i wanna replace soon.

Anyone used the Bendix premium pads?

are they about the same as the OEM pads?

Got quoted $200 for the OEM pads that's all & the Bendix was about $80

[tinkerbell]

nah, i've only ever used bendix ultimate, and they were crap...

[Limbo]

worse than OEM?

[tinkerbell]

better at braking,

but worse for disc wear/had short life when pushed hard...

really? when i was running bendix pads on my dc5, they were shocking. had nowhere near the amount of bite compared to OEM pads. then i went to project mu pads and the difference was even greater.

IMO, save your $ elsewhere... not on brakes.

if you're not using them for racing/track then they are fine. i had to replace my stock pads recently and so far so good. i cant tell any difference, but then again i don't rip my car around. and for the price you pay, who can complain..

u mean project mu pads are worst than the stock oem pads?

you get what you pay for, is something that i always go by.
my friends with various cars have given me an earful on how bad these pads were.
im almost done with my pads too, might grab some OEM or even project mu pads

no. better. just further exemplified how bad the bendix were for me.

[Vincikwan]

ahhh....ok ok. Super cheap auto are having discounts for bendix ulti now. Lucky i did not get them. Think i will go project mu then.

[supersteve]

[MrThanh]

[Vincikwan]
