If you want to buy the parts yourself and have a mechanic install them, then you cannot go wrong with bendix for your pads and dba for your rotors.

Pros: cannot go wrong

I replaced the Brembo with the Zimmermann myself, so far so good, the original Brembo brakes warped after less than 15.000 km, I have now another 15.000 km driven with the Zimmermann and they are as good as new.

Pros: good as new

Cons: Brembo brakes warped

Mileage: 15000 km

I just installed front and rear brakes @90k on my MK7.5 GTI w/PP brakes with a kit from FCP Euro Zimmerman cross drilled font and rear with EBC Red Stuff pads. The price has gone up a good bit since then but its a good upgrade from stock imo.

Pros: good upgrade from stock

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 90000 km

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
