Brake pads Raybestos or Bendix

Raybestos Brake pads

Raybestos has always treated me well. They feel close to OEM but last longer and stop stronger under load. I've run them on work trucks and they held up fine with trailers.

Pros: close to OEM, last longer, stronger stopping, good for towing

Raybestos Brake pads

Went Raybestos and they have been good so far. I wasn't impressed with the pads machining quality though. They just looked rough, but I haven't had any issues in 20k miles with some towing use.

Pros: good performance, no issues, good for towing
Cons: rough machining quality
Mileage: 20000 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
Vehicle: Mercedes
