Bendix pads are very good. I haven't tried their rotors, but I wouldn't hesitate next time I have to change out.
Wanted brakes for the same car? Ordered Bendix. Bendix has been Ford's brake OEM for decades now.
I just had my sister-in-law's 2008 Highlander in my garage on Sunday after she professed that at 150k miles that the brakes were finally making some noise. I ordered a round of rotors and pads and intended to spend a few hours replacing the brakes and the blower motor for the front, as it has been a bit inconsistent in operation. I put the Highlander up on jackstands and pulled the wheels off, and the brakes looked like they had about 10k miles on them.. I was just stunned. I ended up just putting some brake squeal compound on the back of the pads and sent her on her way. They are truly robust and under-rated vehicles.
I use Bendix ultra premium /ceramic pads and I've been quite happy with them
I replaced REAR pads and rotors myself at the end of June of 2017 when I was at 54,000 miles. I used Bendix Ceramic Pads / D1348: https://www.carid.com/bendix/cq-ceramic-rear-disc-brake-pads-mpn-d1348.html These should fit your CC as well (they fit 2.0T and VR6 )They run very clean - like no dust, like the original factory pads did (maybe cleaner). I also opted for oem style rear rotors. Nothing fancy, no slots or drilled holes. The originals didn't have these features and I found them totally serviceable without them. If you buy aftermarket standard style rotors, just be sure that they match the specs of the original factory ones. For my car, the VR6 has rear vented rotors (the 2.0T has solid unvented). I confirmed the vane count and the rotor thickness matched the originals when they were new and then made a decision. I think the rotors I got online were duralast? I can't quite recall. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be shamed for not going to the VW parts counter for VAG branded parts. But with that said, I have over 2500 miles on since then and the car stops beautifully with zero pedal pulsation. All-in, with a tube of compatible brake grease, I think I was at about $115 in parts and 2.5 hours of my labor.
I put some Bendix organic/ceramic pads on my S-10 way back in the day, and the dust was much more manageable. The dust is a lighter color so it's not nearly as obvious. My current car (G35 Coupe) has ceramic pads, and I can tell a big difference compared to my friends' cars. Brake dust always come back slower on my car.
I got about 107,000 on my 06 and haven't needed to change the rotors yet. I just use Bendix Ceramic pads front and rear, we have always used Bendix stuff and never had any issues.
Yeah, I went with all new pads and rotors on all 4 corners. Bendix OEM replacements in the front and Duramax in the rears (I know I know...but I am poor ) I know some pads are better than others but beyond a certain point pads are pads are pads right?
I bought Bendix DB2315 EURO+ for my Mercedes B180 year 2012 Petrol.
Tried to change the front brake pads and they don't fit.
I had Bendix GCT on my cars. Lakas nya kumalmot ng rotor discs nyan that i now need to reface the discs on the yaris. Yung e90 ko is in need of refacing na din dahil sa bendix, ginagasgas nya and rotors. Also produces a lot of brake dust lalo na white wheels ko kita agad.
