Brake pads Bendix or DBA
I've used Bendix for decades now. I think they're a very underrated brand. I've never had any troubles out of them. I was a mechanic for almost 25 years. I've used just about every pad out there. For my personal stuff, I look for Bendix. The reasonable price and excellent quality is what I've always appreciated.
Pros: reasonable price, excellent quality
Bendix Ceramic. $20. OG rotors at 140k, they've been turned once and are within spec. Next time I'll grab the DD Centric rotor/pad combo off RockAuto for $55.
Pros: long lasting rotors
Mileage: 140000 km
I'm still using the factory rotors as they calipered just fine within spec at 132k. I just put on some standard Bendix ceramic for under $20. Didn't even turn my rotors because they were smooth as glass as I live in the south. Made sure to service the slide pins of course. As far as durability, you just can't beat the factory rotors so if they are still within spec, I see no reason to replace.
Basically they feel factory new with a nice progressive pedal dynamic.
Pros: long lasting, smooth
Mileage: 132000 km
I got Bendix rotors and Bendix ceramic pads from rock auto reasonably priced. Works very well
Pros: works very well
I have these exact pads. HUGE improvement.
Pros: huge improvement
Shoot, I turned the rotors and got Bendix pads from RockAuto. Stopped great and smooth.
Pros: stopped great and smooth
I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.
Pros: no more shudder
Cons: no difference from OE
Vehicle:
Kia
DBA pads love to squeal too.
Cons: squealing noise
Used to use the DBA XP pads but they were far too dusty.
Cons: far too dusty
Part number: XP
Bendix din kinabit sa akin na brake pads nung nagpaPMS ako last year.
Maingay kapag galing sa matagal na park pero tumatahimik din pag matagal ng tumatakbo.
Binalik ko sa shop. Nilinis nila ulit preno. Tumahimik naman pero after few weeks maingay na naman.
Cons: noisy when braking
