hey guys just need some advice regarding the choice of new brake pads and springs/shocks. ive been doing a bit of research on here and people seem to recommend bendix ultamate for pads, my mate bought a pair of bendix ultamate pads and the dust is everywhere. is that usual for them? if so what are another good choice that wont dust as much? Also regarding shocks and springs im on quite a budget so i need a alternative to something like bilstein etc i was wondering for the price are kings springs relatively good and are shocks like monroe or pedders(any one know how much they are?) my next choice in like for money? the car is just your normal street car fairly stock any help will be much appreciated thanks

I have Bendix Ultimates in several cars and I don't find them too bad on dust. For the money they are probably the least dusty pad.

The Whiteline springs on the Group Buy are cheaper than Kings.

I don't think Munroe make Skyline shocks. Pedders sell their own ellcheapo brand, but I STRONGLY suggest you have a read of other peoples experience before you buy them. You get what you pay for in shocks and the Bislteins on the Group Buy are very good value for money.

cheers

most pads are a bit dusty, but some are worse than others.. So its not always something you can totally avoid.

For some budget suspension, you could look at maybe some KYB shocks and some King Springs.. you may save a few hundred over the Bilstein and Whiteline combo. I've heard some reasonable things about them in other cars. Thats if you want brand new of course.

Definitely stay away from the pedders or anything like that to try and make sports combos. I am sure they do their research and things to *try* and offer a decent product, but in the end their key criteria is final cost to the consumer and that generally means lower grade materials, etc.
