Brake pads Bendix or ENDLESS
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
Endless MX-72s are a good example.
Pros: good track duty
Cons: drives you nuts
Vehicle:
Toyota
I reckon Endless MX72+ are the go for daily driving or Project Mu.
Endless mx72 are really good as a no noise hybrid pad. I recently switched my fronts to endless me20 for a more task focused pad and they have great feel and no fade. Much noisier but that's to be expected.
Pros: great feel, no fade
Cons: noisy
Vehicle:
MAN
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 now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
Pros: last longer
Cons: overheating fronts, hard on rotors, hard to get affordably
Vehicle:
Porsche
I ran the MX72s until I melted them onto the rotors as well.
Cons: melted onto the rotors
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
