bendix have had a problem with the pads unglueing themselves off the back of there pads(i have credited quite a few off them in the shop i sometimes work at)An inconvienience and quite a bit of a safety concern to say the least .....i have never heard off this happening with genuine units........as for race brakes stuff i have used them once and i didnt like them (noisy,dirty and chomped the disc out)i dont know about the green stuff ones....I had a GTS years ago and i never had any problems with having to pump the pedal or brake fade or anything like that... i just beleive that there is a hell of a lot of R&D in japan and i stand by japanese products.....
