Searching around for brake pads and stumbled across 2 new lineups from Bendix

Bendix SRT; http://www.bendix.com.au/index.php?module=...2281613041-6043

Bendix Street, Road and Track brake pads are designed to suit sports & performance car enthusiasts for high speed driving applications. They have been developed by one of the world’s leading high performance friction material manufacturers incorporating the latest technology and extensively tested under extreme conditions.

Street, Road and Track adjusts to your driving style, so you don’t have to adjust to the style of your brakes.

Bendix Race; http://www.bendix.com.au/index.php?module=...2281613041-6043

Bendix Race has been specifically designed for race applications.

To formal CAMS race drivers and teams, Bendix Race is a premium racing brake pad, that is designed to out brake the other guy under extreme braking. You get more initial bite, optimum control at the pedal and remarkable thermal stability, throughout the race.

Anyone have any experience/knowledge about them?

Do the SRT's still squeel and/or eat brake rotors?

Anyone have a price?

Cheers

Patrick

It looks like the SRT's will only be sold through 'selected' outlets, read 'few' outlets. Pretty stupid if that is so, perhaps they are trying to be exclusive, and expensive.

I've heard they are up near Ferodo 2500 prices, bugger them if thats the case.

I have spoken to a few brake shops about the SRT pads when shopping for a new set a few weeks back.

The consensus i got was they they are designed to be comparable with Ferodo DS2500s, and are not even really comparable with ultimates. One shop said they had feedback from a guy who used the SRTs and DS2500s and he had good things to say about the SRTs.

The SRTs are ~$250, DS2500s ~$300 for DB1170

Havent heard anything about the 'Race' pads..

I have these in my R34GT-T. S,R & T in the front and Ultimates in the back. Got the SR&T on an introductory special for $195.00 in Melb, Bursons quoted $295.00. Appear to be really good so far, nice & bitey. Have a track day in a couple of weeks so I'll know more then.

Do they squeal like banshees?

Do they eat rotors like ultimates?

Any Brake Dust?

In your opinion are they better than ebc greens, rb74, qfm etc?

Cheers :P

No noise as yet, only done a couple of hundred k's so don't no what they will be like on rotors and not to dusty. Have never used anything other than Bendix, so I can't compare.

Do you mean $300 for DS2500's? They don't cost anywhere near that. More like $250 +/- $10 I think.

They used to be approx $240. They have gone up in price, and now sell for approx $300 from most places... i did the ring around when shopping for new pads recently to discover this unpleasant surprise :)

What rotors are you using Wogboy?

I'm just using factory rotors and had the slots machined in then, seem to work well. Will find out on friday when a few mates and I head out to Symmons Plains (our local track) for the day!

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
