Brake pads Bendix or Centric
If you want to buy the parts yourself and have a mechanic install them, then you cannot go wrong with bendix for your pads and dba for your rotors.
Pros: cannot go wrong
I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.
Pros: cheap brake pads/rotors
Cons: 3 hours installation
Id search for bendix. They work great and leaves little to no brakedust on my rims. Brembo is shit they leaves fuckton of brakedust and wears quick
Pros: work great, little brakedust
Cons: wears quick
I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.
Pros: low dust, brake fine
I’ve ran the Bendix GCT pads in my daily for years.
Minimal dust and good lifespan, and they work as they should.
I’d prefer them over the likes of Bosch and Protex.
Pros: good lifespan, minimal dust
Regular DBA's (street model?) i was getting 40k kms, the Bendix heavy duty's i was getting nearly double that. Never had an issue with them.
Pros: nearly double lifespan
Mileage: 40000 km
Brembo or Akebono. Makalat sa brake dust yung Bendix at marami rin fake.
Cons: Makalat sa brake dust, marami fake
Bendix gets the job done for its cheap price. May mannotice ka lang na noise when braking from time to time but still walang slippage whatsoever.
Pros: cheap price, gets job done
Cons: noise when braking
Nissin, akebono, brembo maganda. Pag budget friendly LKC or Hi-Q pwede na. Pass sa bendix
Cons: Pass sa bendix
Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.
Pros: genuine korean brand
Cons: noise, fake bendix
