Brake pads Bendix or Tesla
If you want to buy the parts yourself and have a mechanic install them, then you cannot go wrong with bendix for your pads and dba for your rotors.
Pros: cannot go wrong
Will not go back. Love to quick launch, quiet drive, no maintenance. Still on original disks and PADS at 180,000 km (120k miles)
Pros: quick launch, quiet drive
Mileage: 180000 km
My Tesla has huge rear brakes I hardly ever use. The factory brake pads still look brand new after all these miles. Rear brakes are pointless if you have regen braking.
Pros: brake pads look brand new
Cons: rear brakes are pointless
Id search for bendix. They work great and leaves little to no brakedust on my rims. Brembo is shit they leaves fuckton of brakedust and wears quick
Pros: work great, little brakedust
Cons: wears quick
I’ve ran the Bendix GCT pads in my daily for years.
Minimal dust and good lifespan, and they work as they should.
I’d prefer them over the likes of Bosch and Protex.
Pros: good lifespan, minimal dust
Oh, I did have rust pop on one of the original brake pads so I had to replace that this spring - very little pad wear though!
Pros: very little wear
Cons: rust pop
Brembo or Akebono. Makalat sa brake dust yung Bendix at marami rin fake.
Cons: Makalat sa brake dust, marami fake
Nissin, akebono, brembo maganda. Pag budget friendly LKC or Hi-Q pwede na. Pass sa bendix
Cons: Pass sa bendix
Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.
Pros: genuine korean brand
Cons: noise, fake bendix
To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.
Pros: adequate with regen
Cons: brakes are not great
