vs
Brake pads Bendix or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I’ve been using Bendix metal king for my car, it outperforms stock pads from Toyota by a lot. For context, I’m from Sabah; under normal driving conditions and without another driver in front basically keeping their foot on the brake pedal. Our steepest mountainous road is Kimanis, gradients ranging from 10% to 25%; it handled the descend perfectly without fading as compared to stock pads. Traversing to-and-fro Kundasang was also a breeze, brakes would typically fade half-way down the mountain with minor traffic ahead. I’m looking to switch to Bendix Ultimate come time to change my brake pads. Though I have to agree with the brake dust, but if you wash your car once a week then it shouldn’t be that awful.
Pros: outperforms stock, good fade resistance
Cons: excessive brake dust
I am just now contemplating a sad goodbye to my 2003 Elantra VLE. It needs a brake job but has become a rust bucket driving in harsh winter conditions, Ottawa, Montreal.
Pros: basic maintenance diligently done
Cons: rust bucket

I have a 21 Kona this was my 3rd winter with it here in NL, no rust proofing and they love using 1000% salt on our roads, no issue on my whatsoever. I have it checked every time we get our wheels changed sometimes they have to greese the pins on the breaks but no corrosion or anything.
Pros: no corrosion issues

On the surface this looks fine, but w203s don't have fancy brakes. Bendix's for these are only $50-90. So they've hidden a lot of labour in that "pad" price. then they've charged you half an hour to change the discs as well. if the calipers are off the discs take about 1 minute each to change. Then did the discs really need changing? these are basic brakes. you can go 2 for 1 on discs to pads on these no problems. it may be they did need doing, but it may be they didn't. So, I'd say, it's not a rip off, compared to say a Stealer, but there is still a bit of fluff in this.
Cons: hidden labor, overpriced

Those Bendix Brake Pads have been almost doubled in price over store bought.
Cons: price almost doubled
I used to own a 2012 sonata and one day last year the brakes started acting extremely sensitive and would even to activate on their own (it would cancel out cruise control when my foot wasn’t touching the brakes) and would cause my car to feel like it was stalling out.
Cons: extremely sensitive, activate on own, car stalling
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
then somehow the brake pads fell off, the windscreen wiper stopped working in the middle of a storm
Cons: brake pads fell off
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
