Brake pads R1 Concepts or Bendix
Reviews
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
I might get scolded by the purest, but I went with these R1 Concepts on my 2019 X5.\n\nI too was shocked when the dealer quoted over 2k for brakes, so I started looking at options. I\u2019ve had them for about two years, they have performed excellent and they look amazing.
Pros: performed excellent, look amazing
Vehicle:
BMW X5
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
Try R1 concepts , it got my respect as it almost helped me escape a few accidents in the last 3 months
Pros: helped escape accidents
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
I would suggest going to [www.buybrakes.com](http://www.buybrakes.com) and get the R1 Concepts pads for the front and rear. The ones Rockauto has growl a little bit.
Pros: good quality
Cons: growl a little bit
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis
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
Brembo ceramic brake pad, or akebono. Pangot bendix matigas masyado. Mauna pa maubos rotor mo
Cons: matigas masyado
