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
well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors
Bendix gets the job done for its cheap price. May mannotice ka lang na noise when braking from time to time but still walang slippage whatsoever.
Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.
I went to Northland VW this past spring for my 22 jetta, just for an oil change and inspection. Their oil change was close to $200 and then they said I needed my front brake pads and rotors changed. They quoted me close to $1000 for that, for just the front brakes!!! I went to lordco and bought the parts myself and got a local shop to put them on. Going that route cut the cost in half.
The brand Bendix had confused warnings on their brake pad boxes.
Garbage in short.
Will not ever touch another Bendix product after my last pad install with them.
