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.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
