Brake pads Bendix or DIXCEL
Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.
Pros: stops better, less dust
Cons: squeal at higher temps
Vehicle:
BMW
I was tired of the squeals and replaced the front brake pads with Bendix parts for about $90. Fits perfect.
Pros: perfect fit
Vehicle:
Audi
I've been using Bendix pads for 2 decades and they always last a long ass time
Pros: long lasting
I have always ran DIXCEL Z on all my cars. Extremely quiet once you bed them in and has a temp range of 0-850°C with a friction coefficient of 0.67. They're just a bit dusty.
Pros: quiet, wide temp range
Cons: a bit dusty
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
Bendix maingay talaga, mawawala iyan after two thousand kilometers, one thousand lessen na
Cons: noisy initially
Mileage: 2000 km
Garbage in short.
Will not ever touch another Bendix product after my last pad install with them.
Cons: garbage
My last foray with Bendix sucked big time.
Cons: poor performance
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
