Brake pads Zimmermann or Bendix

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.

That's probably the kit I'd go with for my GLI. Again, as a daily driver... it meets the needs. The semi-metallic pads work good in many different temp ranges. However, semi-metallic pads also produce more brake dust, so you'll get more debris on your rotors faster. One of the other downsides is that they're more aggressive on the braking rotor because they're metallic, so you'll need to check your rotors more often for thinning.

I bought the Zimmerman kit with ceramic pads from FCPEuro for $530 front and rear and did the work myself.

They work great they are an oem supplier.

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

Been using Bendix metal king for my cars. Yes the brake dust sucks, but the braking fade is superior.

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.

I purchased Zimmerman pads and rotors from FCP. FCP is fine but the Zimmerman brakes squeal like a bitch.

I bought Bendix DB2315 EURO+ for my Mercedes B180 year 2012 Petrol.

Tried to change the front brake pads and they don't fit.
