Guys,

I'm using Bendix at present, quite OK mar, not as bad as some say lar.
It's not fair to compare just the quality mar; the Bendix's only RM 100+
whereby the EBC or TRD's more than twice the price, so how to compare?

It's not as good as those original pads fr Jpn that came with my halfcut
but it's still by far much better than Don lor. Fitted the Don, used them
for a week & off they go into the rubbish bin. It's very, very "char" lar.
On the other hand, those so-called hi-performance pads does "makan" yr
disc. Also don't forget that some hi-performance pads have a different
heat range, i.e. 0 deg- 500 deg. etc. Some for track use does require
warming up, i.e 100- 700 deg which are not suitable for everyday use 'coz
b4 u warm up, u already kissed someone's rear lor.

I was told that the new Don Advantage's also very good. They used tem in
the Merdeka 12 hr race, so went & bought myself a set but they only have
the rear. Haven't fitted yet; currently using Lucas in the rear,; not
satisfactory.

Rgds.

no need warm up..and also dont damage ur disc..
so far i think its very good..and far better than EBC..

EBC pad is worst than my original pad le..
i used it for few months than throw it away lioaw..
useless and waste of money..

them.Anyone used them before?
