Brake pads Bendix or WAGNER

Wagner OEX brake pads are some of the best around. They're built on a galvanized steel backing plate to reduce rust and the pad material is connected to the plate with a mechanical attachment system instead of glue. Wagner is a Tier 1 supplier to several carmakers.

I put Bendix pads and rotors frt n back on mine a year ago.

Doing a good job, we tow and load up with firewood alot.

Nice even wear on everything. Smooth stops.

Wagner, Centric, Raybestos, Akebono are all very reliable brands. However, each one makes an economy, OEM and premium version. So don't go by brand name alone. Wagner OEX pads are premium quality. They're built on galvanized steel backing plates with mechanical attachment versus adhesive to keep the friction material on.

I put Wagner on mine. They have been good for around 35k miles on them so far. I don't see me replacing them for another 15k. I didn't like the OEM one and braking is really one of the weakspoints for the Mazda 6.

I highly recommend Wagner OEX pads. Galvanized steel backing plates. Quiet. Long lasting

I purchased Durango rotors and Wagner brakes for my 2015 cx5 back in May 2018. According to my buddy my brakes were only 50%/35%(front/back/) done. I told him to change it anyways since he pulled them apart anyways. That was around 105k. Around Jan 2020, the rear brakes were squeaking. My buddy pulled them apart, and the rear brakes were completely done. The odometer was around 190k . I replaced them with centric rotors and power stop pads. The front was not changed as it looks like 70 left.

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 did a change on my moms 2011 Malibu last year. She barely drives and we live in northeastern MA so after 9 years and 21k miles later they just rusted out. Pads and rotors especially the rear parts. I used Wagner pads and rotors and been using them for many years with great results.

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.
