Brake pads Bendix or OEM KIA
Repco, whatever model serial for rotors and Bendix pads, then find someone to do it for you.
I use bendix on my truck and love it. I figure if they make good pads for the big rigs I work on, why not run them on my truck?
Pros: love it, reliable
I see no one mentioning bendix, they’re the only brand I’ve run on my 2010 Holden Colorado and work exceptionally well
Pros: work exceptionally well
I put Bendix pads and rotors frt n back on mine a year ago.
Doing a good job, we tow and load up with firewood alot.
Nice even wear on everything. Smooth stops.
Pros: Nice even wear, smooth stops
I replaced the front pads with some bendix 4wd pads and machined the rotors, was a noticeable improvement straight away. I also flushed the brake fluid at the same time.
Pros: noticeable improvement
Vehicle:
Mazda
Lastly, I had the well-known brake pad deposit problem on the rotors, which over time (about 5-6k miles for me) would cause the steering wheel and car to shake a bit when breaking, similar to the feeling you get when the rotors are warped. I had the rotors cut once, then all four rotors and pads replaced, and then the front rotors were replaced again. As many other Stinger owners online have said, once they replaced the stock rotors and pads with a good set of aftermarket rotors and pads, or some even just machining their stock rotors and getting new aftermarket pads, that seems to have solved the issue for them.
Pros: aftermarket pads solved issue
Cons: brake pad deposit problem
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 20700 km
The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.
Pros: better pads, drilled rotors
Cons: uneven deposits, shaking
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 109000 km
Matigas Bendix. Used it on my tucson. Nahihirapan mag brake.
Cons: hard to brake
The problem with Bendix pads is that they eat away the rotors too fast.
Cons: eats rotors too fast
I had bendix on my cars before, the gen CT and metal king has too much metal components, hence its noisy and scratches the rotors.
Cons: noisy, scratches rotors
