Brake pads Bendix or OEM KIA
I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.
Pros: regular maintenance, drives fine
Vehicle:
Kia Rio
Mileage: 115000 km
Id search for bendix. They work great and leaves little to no brakedust on my rims. Brembo is shit they leaves fuckton of brakedust and wears quick
Pros: work great, little brakedust
Cons: wears quick
I’ve ran the Bendix GCT pads in my daily for years.
Minimal dust and good lifespan, and they work as they should.
I’d prefer them over the likes of Bosch and Protex.
Pros: good lifespan, minimal dust
Regular DBA's (street model?) i was getting 40k kms, the Bendix heavy duty's i was getting nearly double that. Never had an issue with them.
Pros: nearly double lifespan
Mileage: 40000 km
I run Bendix and they are good
Pros: they are good
Bendix are surprisingly good, but they are the absolute dust kings.
Pros: surprisingly good
Cons: absolute dust kings
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.
Pros: OE pad material adheres
Cons: brake shudder-vibration
Vehicle:
Kia
Bendix is horse shit. Akebono is the best.
Cons: horse shit
The brand Bendix had confused warnings on their brake pad boxes.
Pros: null
Cons: confused warnings
Garbage in short.
Will not ever touch another Bendix product after my last pad install with them.
Cons: garbage
