bindex pads

[letemlaf]

hey guys,

anybody know if bindex advance and ultimate pads are any good?

i have some people telling me their horrible, but others tell me their great for general street use where they wont get too hot.

whats your opinion?

bendix ultimate.

a great all round street pad. highly recommended.

only drawback is they're dusty as hell

[Doctor]

Yes very very dusty pads. Very good stoppers though.

Ultimate's chew up your rotors, have good bite and resitant to fade to the point that most people will never reach on the road.

I had em in my 32 when i got the car, then I had to put new rotors on and went with a set of slotted and drilled EBC rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads in the front with Greeb Stuff in the rear. They were shit for road because they never got up to working temp and wore very quickly.

I got stuck in Sydney on a Sunday afternoon with metal on metal and got the only pads i could get, being a set of 200sx Bendix Advance.

They bite good from cold but feel shit braking from high speed and begin to fade pretty quickly. For example At the bottom of Maquarie Pass the Reds were starting to bite nicely, By about 5 big stops on the Advance they were not biting much anymore.

Next purchase is a set of Pagid street pads.

Advance are just stockers. Ultimates are the ones your after.

Pagid pads = head almost through windscreen every time you hit the brakes.
