The bendix ultimates on my old mans ford are good.They do eat at the dba slotted rotors though and make allot of noise on the street.

From what you are describing the rb74's are worse than that.

If i had a camera i would show yoou the destruction that the rotors have taken.

I apologise if this is a silly question, but how do you stop in a hurry without chewing rotors? Don't you need the pads to bite into the rotor??

i guess some people prefer pads to wear rather than rotors

but seeing how much some people are paying for pads, i think i'd rather rotors

for the record i've got bendix ultimates, good cheap pad had no real fade issues at all on the track and they stop great

they do eat the rotors a bit though (not enough to worry) and make a lot of dust (which is necessary to make no squeal, plus the brake dust looks tough)

I like your thinkin'!

Fair point too. I assume you have to wear both, but one will always be harder than the other therefore wear less.

Bendix ultimates are the best value/performace pad ,you can buy them at a good price for a huge range of vehicles

We fit them to all nsw police cars

Fitted a set on a r33 gtst no dust,very little rotor wear,great stopping power

for fast street driving.

But cant get em for the r33 gtr

I agree with most points, but you cant say no dust!

they are one of the dustiest pads ever!

I have had a set on the rear, and just fitted set no.2 on the front of a 33 gtst and they are easily the dustiest pads i have ever used, friends using ultimates on other cars have the same issue.

Doesnt bother me too much but they are a very dusty pad.

yeah i certainly wouldn't say no dust

my front wheels look like 2 piece because of all the dust

^ about a week after i fitted them

you should see them now (i refuse to wash the wheels )

YEAH WELL MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF DUST..WASH YOUR WHEELS MORE OFTEN!

why the random pic

Anyway just to reinforce the point, i drove only 200kms today, not much heavy braking and my (used to be clean) wheels are now literally covered in a filthy layer of bendix ultimates i wish i had a camera :lol:
