I have been using Bendix pads for our sedans for several years already and I dont see any problem with it. A pair of pads for the 2 front wheels just cost me P500 a few years ago so I guess it wont differ much lately.

The cost of brake pads of Fords have caught my attention a few years back when a friend of mine changed his Lynx's front pads for a similar amount as what you have indicated.

Casa prices are at least 2x-3x more expensive than what you can buy from the market
