New Bendix Pads On The Market

[Rekin]

Searching around for brake pads and stumbled across 2 new lineups from Bendix

Bendix SRT; http://www.bendix.com.au/index.php?module=...2281613041-6043

Bendix Street, Road and Track brake pads are designed to suit sports & performance car enthusiasts for high speed driving applications. They have been developed by one of the world’s leading high performance friction material manufacturers incorporating the latest technology and extensively tested under extreme conditions.

Street, Road and Track adjusts to your driving style, so you don’t have to adjust to the style of your brakes.

Bendix Race; http://www.bendix.com.au/index.php?module=...2281613041-6043

Bendix Race has been specifically designed for race applications.

To formal CAMS race drivers and teams, Bendix Race is a premium racing brake pad, that is designed to out brake the other guy under extreme braking. You get more initial bite, optimum control at the pedal and remarkable thermal stability, throughout the race.

Anyone have any experience/knowledge about them?

Do the SRT's still squeel and/or eat brake rotors?

Anyone have a price?

Cheers

interesting, I'll have to give a set a go

[Rekin]

Ive sent an email to one of victorias only supplier of these pads at this stage.

I'll see what response i get back (if any)

[Anquetil]

Where do they fit in price wise next to the Ultimates?

[260DET]

It looks like the SRT's will only be sold through 'selected' outlets, read 'few' outlets. Pretty stupid if that is so, perhaps they are trying to be exclusive, and expensive.

I've heard they are up near Ferodo 2500 prices, bugger them if thats the case.

havent got a reply from the seller bah.

Someone call up a shop and ask

[evil_weevil]

sounds interesting, I need new pads soon, will keep an eye on this thread

I have spoken to a few brake shops about the SRT pads when shopping for a new set a few weeks back.

The consensus i got was they they are designed to be comparable with Ferodo DS2500s, and are not even really comparable with ultimates. One shop said they had feedback from a guy who used the SRTs and DS2500s and he had good things to say about the SRTs.

The SRTs are ~$250, DS2500s ~$300 for DB1170

Havent heard anything about the 'Race' pads..

I got told by a Bendix guy at the Melbourne AAAA trade show last week the SRT were approx $250 and Race $300.

I have these in my R34GT-T. S,R & T in the front and Ultimates in the back. Got the SR&T on an introductory special for $195.00 in Melb, Bursons quoted $295.00. Appear to be really good so far, nice & bitey. Have a track day in a couple of weeks so I'll know more then.

Do they squeal like banshees?

Do they eat rotors like ultimates?

Any Brake Dust?

In your opinion are they better than ebc greens, rb74, qfm etc?

Cheers

No noise as yet, only done a couple of hundred k's so don't no what they will be like on rotors and not to dusty. Have never used anything other than Bendix, so I can't compare.

Do you mean $300 for DS2500's? They don't cost anywhere near that. More like $250 +/- $10 I think.

They used to be approx $240. They have gone up in price, and now sell for approx $300 from most places... i did the ring around when shopping for new pads recently to discover this unpleasant surprise

What rotors are you using Wogboy?

[Wogboy]

What rotors are you using Wogboy?

I'm just using factory rotors and had the slots machined in then, seem to work well. Will find out on friday when a few mates and I head out to Symmons Plains (our local track) for the day!

[260DET]

Any circuit user reports on the SR&T's?

[Abo Bob]

Reports please.
