I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.

Pros: dust was eliminated, pads preformed better

Cons: severe brake dust

Vehicle: Chevrolet Corvette

Part number: 1521S

I’ve ran the Bendix GCT pads in my daily for years.

Minimal dust and good lifespan, and they work as they should.

I’d prefer them over the likes of Bosch and Protex.

Pros: good lifespan, minimal dust

Bendix gets the job done for its cheap price. May mannotice ka lang na noise when braking from time to time but still walang slippage whatsoever.

Pros: cheap price, gets job done

Cons: noise when braking

Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.

Pros: genuine korean brand

Cons: noise, fake bendix
