Bendix Brake pads

I've used Bendix for decades now. I think they're a very underrated brand. I've never had any troubles out of them. I was a mechanic for almost 25 years. I've used just about every pad out there. For my personal stuff, I look for Bendix. The reasonable price and excellent quality is what I've always appreciated.

Pros: reasonable price, excellent quality

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

Bendix Brake pads

On the surface this looks fine, but w203s don't have fancy brakes. Bendix's for these are only $50-90. So they've hidden a lot of labour in that "pad" price. then they've charged you half an hour to change the discs as well. if the calipers are off the discs take about 1 minute each to change. Then did the discs really need changing? these are basic brakes. you can go 2 for 1 on discs to pads on these no problems. it may be they did need doing, but it may be they didn't. So, I'd say, it's not a rip off, compared to say a Stealer, but there is still a bit of fluff in this.

Cons: hidden labor, overpriced

Rating 1.0

the brakes just didn't like slowing from 140 to 90, even though that's something I regularly do on the highway - it doesn't like it then either, but it was scarier on track. What I mean by "the brakes didn't like it" is that after one or maximum 2 hard brakes, the pedal and steering wheel transmit a horrible vibration everytime I even touch the brakes, and this goes on until I presume the brakes have either cooled off, or the rotors have bent themselves back into shape.

Cons: horrible vibration, scary

Bendix Brake pads

Toyota wigo 2018, Nagpareplace kasi ako ng brake pads (bendix) tsaka nagpa rotor resurface na rin sa isang Shell service center. Tapos when I brake at certain speeds (around 20km/h or more tapos saktong diin lang yung braking), merong knocking noise or thumping noise.

Cons: knocking noise, thumping noise
