vs
Brake pads Bendix or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
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
Brake pad? Bendix
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
Pros: good performance increase
Cons: excess brake dust, annoying squeal
If you skipped maintenance on an E-Class it would be the exact same story. Bushungs, stabilization links, brake pads, rotors, etc.
Bendix are surprisingly good, but they are the absolute dust kings.
Pros: surprisingly good
Cons: absolute dust kings
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
My mechanic replaces them with OE Mercedes everytime my car needs new brakes. I ask him to use aftermarket and he keeps saying aftermarket pads squeak a lot. And guess what, my OE MB pads squeak like hell when I hit the brakes while reversing lol
Cons: squeak when reversing
My last foray with Bendix sucked big time.
Cons: poor performance
