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
Brembo ceramic brake pad, or akebono. Pangot bendix matigas masyado. Mauna pa maubos rotor mo
Cons: matigas masyado
