Better Brake Pad

[shyr33]

hey guys just wondering i went down to bursons today to find a replacement pad for the bendix ultamates and they had two in stock, the bendix advanced ($70 per pair) and the bendix heavy duty($110 per pair) just wondering if anyone has these brake pads and if so which one i should purchase car is just for road use but i do want a good pad that will stop. any feedback will be appreciated thanks

the advance is what i use for street. they're good and wont eat your rotors away as quickly as others.

thanks for the reply mintr33 ill go down and get some new advanced pads

I wish to change mine also, but was ask to try the ENDLESS Y Street specs. Heard they r dusty but safe on rotors and give helluva bite for a small price to pay around $14000YEN/pair.

i use the bendix advance and they are a very good pad... havent had any problems with noise, excessive dust or slowing down... they work fine

Bendix advanced were suprisingly OK for street use and the odd spirited drive. Very low dusting. However they are definitely not for continual hard braking like the track, nor are they meant to be either.

Sounds like the Bendix Advanced is good enough for street use, I'll get them when I grab my new DBA front rotors on Tuesday

Hi Guys,

I would recommend going a set of Bendix Ultimates, these are a great street/mild track pad. We sell these for $110 inc delivery, if you are interested please drop me a PM.

I've ran Bendix Ultimates on mine a while back.

Excellent pedal feel, lots and lots, I mean LOTS of brake dust.

They also wore very quickly only lasting 20,000km's of street duties, no hard braking the occasional hills cruise (not thrash).

I was honestly quite dissapointed how quickly they chewed out, especially considering I hadn't gave them a hard time.

Other pads at the time were very expensive so I settled on a set of cheapo ($34 a pair) semi-metal Maxi-stops, lost the nice grabby pedal feel (allthough are still grabby) yet pull up very well, bugger all brake dust and last so so damn long. I've had them in the car for 3years and around 80,000km's.
