Bendix premium pads will be fine paired with better rotors you will get a good performance increase , you can look into other brands etc but again no real point in going to far on pads unless its a track car all your doing is 3x the price for very small gain and sometimes a loss as normal street driving will not put enough heat into the pads to get them to operational temp making it dangerous for normal use, also excess brake dust and annoying squeal
I changed over to Bendix and it has literally lasted more than twice as long. In fact they’re still on my Corolla after 60,000kms.
I was tired of the squeals and replaced the front brake pads with Bendix parts for about $90. Fits perfect.
I've been using Bendix pads for 2 decades and they always last a long ass time
I bought the Mazda a while ago and hated it. I improved my skills and bought it again last night. It was a fucking blast. Have to be careful with the brakes and backend sliding but it is a straights rocket and has decent cornering without any assists.
Probably need to change the brake pads if they are uneven or glazed.
I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.
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.
Those Bendix Brake Pads have been almost doubled in price over store bought.
Similar thing happened to me today, vehicle is 2023 cx-50, 25k mile, not even 2 year, in upstate ny with weekly car wash, gentle on gas and brake. They said front pads are 30%, rear pads are 50%, quoted me $600 to get new front pad & rotor, and rear brake service(cleaning, lubrication). Just 2 month ago from another mechanic's report (same delear), all pads are above 50%. I don't think it's that bad that both pad and rotor need to be replaced, so I denied the work,
