Sorry to bump an old thread, but..

Has anyone got any reports on these pads since they have been around a while now?

I'm about to replace my front rotors/pads, and the brake shop im using is trying to push me towards the bendix "race" pads. Currently i'm using DBA rotors with EBC red stuff pads as a street/track pad, and have been pretty happy with their performance, so deciding wether to get the reds again or try these out. Any opinions?

I have just gone from Endless SSS to RaceBrakes RB74 and i won't be going back, have used EBC greens and the bendix range before... They are good value, and stop well cold, and work better the hotter they get!

also, support a Melbourne business :D

Yeah i have heard good things about the racebrakes pads.

I guess my main concern with trying the Bendix "race" pads is that they have been around a couple of years now and there is practically no information/reviews on them on the web, plus i have used Bendix ultimate's before and they were possibly one of the worst pads i have ever used.

Thanks for the input.

Scott.

Hmm....I have RB74 all round currently with DBA 4000 series rotors on front. Done 2 track days only and 55,000km road. They have about 5000km left. Front rotors look like they might need to be replaced (replaced when put in the RB74) and rear rotors also (didn't replace last time).

I was thinking of going to ultimates since I used them on the 200sx previously but never gave that a flogging since it handled like poo. So really I don't know how good ultimates are. If they aren't better than RB74 and also eat rotors like RB74 do then I might have to rethink.

Only thing with RB74 is they tend to squeel a lot, so you'll need to use copper grease on the backing plates.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
