Brake pads Bendix or OEM Audi

Bendix Brake pads

Bendix Ceramic. $20. OG rotors at 140k, they've been turned once and are within spec. Next time I'll grab the DD Centric rotor/pad combo off RockAuto for $55.

Pros: long lasting rotors
Mileage: 140000 km

I'm still using the factory rotors as they calipered just fine within spec at 132k. I just put on some standard Bendix ceramic for under $20. Didn't even turn my rotors because they were smooth as glass as I live in the south. Made sure to service the slide pins of course. As far as durability, you just can't beat the factory rotors so if they are still within spec, I see no reason to replace.

Basically they feel factory new with a nice progressive pedal dynamic.

Pros: long lasting, smooth
Mileage: 132000 km

I’ve been using Bendix metal king for my car, it outperforms stock pads from Toyota by a lot. For context, I’m from Sabah; under normal driving conditions and without another driver in front basically keeping their foot on the brake pedal. Our steepest mountainous road is Kimanis, gradients ranging from 10% to 25%; it handled the descend perfectly without fading as compared to stock pads. Traversing to-and-fro Kundasang was also a breeze, brakes would typically fade half-way down the mountain with minor traffic ahead. I’m looking to switch to Bendix Ultimate come time to change my brake pads. Though I have to agree with the brake dust, but if you wash your car once a week then it shouldn’t be that awful.

Pros: outperforms stock, good fade resistance
Cons: excessive brake dust

I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.

Pros: no more shudder
Cons: no difference from OE
Vehicle: Kia

brakes (twice in 26k km, which is crazy stupid - the car didn't get a lot of mileage during COVID, but their brakes are stupid cheap and rust just looking at them when it rains).

Cons: replaced twice in 26k km, stupid cheap, rust easily
Vehicle: Audi A5
Mileage: 26000 km

Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.

Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
