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!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
