Brake pads Bendix or OEM Porsche

I can't recommend the 2nd gen cars enough. I bought my 958 on a whim because dieselgate deal and ended up absolutely falling in love with it. As far as costs, surprisingly in my case, it was "nothing is cheaper than an expensive Porsche." YMMV, getting dieselgate pricing and selling during a boom obviously helped, but I just sold it on Monday after 2.5 yrs, having it from 60k-90k, and trade-in (towards another Cayenne) was more than I had paid. In terms of maintenance, only things not on the schedule were brakes once and the winter tires once, wipers twice, and fixed one broken e-brake and one broken brake bleeder.

They're great pads, and when you've fried them you'll get a new set under FCP Euro's lifetime warranty.

I replaced the front pads with some bendix 4wd pads and machined the rotors, was a noticeable improvement straight away. I also flushed the brake fluid at the same time.

I just did my Rotors and brakes on my 2nd Gen 2005 and used Bendix Rotors PRT5716 for rears and PRT5675 for front. As for pads I used their Premium Copper free CFC1100 and it major difference in stopping feels like its brand new again. Also pads I did before I hated they were Wagner Ceramic Thermo quiet pads and they squeaked non stop min put them in it drove me nuts I got money use out of them and used them till I couldn't take squeaking anymore LOL

Bendix pads are very good. I haven't tried their rotors, but I wouldn't hesitate next time I have to change out.

Wanted brakes for the same car? Ordered Bendix. Bendix has been Ford's brake OEM for decades now.

I use Bendix ultra premium /ceramic pads and I've been quite happy with them

Yeah, I went with all new pads and rotors on all 4 corners. Bendix OEM replacements in the front and Duramax in the rears (I know I know...but I am poor ) I know some pads are better than others but beyond a certain point pads are pads are pads right?

The problem with Bendix pads is that they eat away the rotors too fast.

I had bendix on my cars before, the gen CT and metal king has too much metal components, hence its noisy and scratches the rotors.
