Sorry to bump an old thread, but..

Has anyone got any reports on these pads since they have been around a while now?

I'm about to replace my front rotors/pads, and the brake shop im using is trying to push me towards the bendix "race" pads. Currently i'm using DBA rotors with EBC red stuff pads as a street/track pad, and have been pretty happy with their performance, so deciding wether to get the reds again or try these out. Any opinions?

I have just gone from Endless SSS to RaceBrakes RB74 and i won't be going back, have used EBC greens and the bendix range before... They are good value, and stop well cold, and work better the hotter they get!

also, support a Melbourne business

Yeah i have heard good things about the racebrakes pads.

I guess my main concern with trying the Bendix "race" pads is that they have been around a couple of years now and there is practically no information/reviews on them on the web, plus i have used Bendix ultimate's before and they were possibly one of the worst pads i have ever used.

Thanks for the input.

Scott.

Hmm....I have RB74 all round currently with DBA 4000 series rotors on front. Done 2 track days only and 55,000km road. They have about 5000km left. Front rotors look like they might need to be replaced (replaced when put in the RB74) and rear rotors also (didn't replace last time).

I was thinking of going to ultimates since I used them on the 200sx previously but never gave that a flogging since it handled like poo. So really I don't know how good ultimates are. If they aren't better than RB74 and also eat rotors like RB74 do then I might have to rethink.

Only thing with RB74 is they tend to squeel a lot, so you'll need to use copper grease on the backing plates.

Just remember the RB pads are made by another manufacturer, and it's cheaper to buy it in their box...
