Brake Pad Thread [Merged]

which shops sell Advics brand?

Almost none, since its price is 20~30% higher than Bendix. Also its product line is mainly for Toyota eh majority ng Toyota owners are going for cheaper Bendix, while Honda owners opt to buy higher priced branded parts.

Brembo, Bendix or other brands?

PAJ 4M40 MORE POWER!

when i have my friction pads replaced, whatever they put in, works fine to me.
but i am sure, it's not car-brand nor the more expensive of the lot.

My issues with Bendix brake pads is that if you compare them side by side with the OEM counterpart, their friction material ( the pad itself) is narrower such that it doest cover the whole brake rotor surface area that is covered by the OEM. While its true that it does not compromise braking power, it however, invites unwanted rusting (& sometimes pitting) on the rotor surface area not covered by the pad... The metal kings in particular, "eat" the covered area deeper leaving the uncovered area untouched resulting in uneven wear of the rotor. Depending on how deep the gouging is, some needs refacing when changing to a new pad...
Talking from first hand experience ....

Same experience bro, also if side by side mo siya cinompare with OEM brands like Advics, Akebono, and etc... makikita mo laki ng difference sa quality daming uneven area sa bendix hindi din slotted yung pad tapos nilagyan pa ng semi plastic-metal backplate instead yung orig na back plate ikabit mo. Tapos may mga spots sa pad material na hindi pantay na parang lubak tignan lalo na sa sides.

If you depend on mechanics for the brands of parts you put in your car then I'm sorry to say that you might be losing since most mechanics here are unscrupulous they choose the cheapest brands they could buy so that they can ask the shop they are buying from to put example P2000 on the receipt but the real price is just around P300~P500 the rest of the P1300~P1500 goes to the mechanic's pocket I have experienced this many times during purchasing from any parts store the mechanic's always wants to get a big portion of commission or side money, plus I always hear mechanic's saying they want the cheaper one or "baratong maganda" which means is fake branded parts so that their customer will come back sooner instead of using the original high quality one which will take years to break. They put P2000 on the receipt so that they have evidence to support that they bought your money with that part for the P2000 amount.

Sir how about Hyundai? Which brand has the best bite and least visible dust? KDM factory fitted pads were great but the OEMs available locally have a lot of dust, don't bite as well and are noisy. Been looking for KDM factory fitted pads but it seems nobody carries them.

Where do you buy locally? I bought mine sa Goodgear or sa Seiring di naman ma dust. Anyways, search mo sa FB TCG autoparts. They sell different kind of brakepads. I saw yung Hi-Q OEM daw ng Hyundai/Kia pati Chevy

Sige bro check ko maya. Yung EBC I have their Greenstuff sa Navara, malakas din dust, also noisier than stock. Medyo maingay din pero non metallic ang sound. I also have Yellowstuff in stock, hopefully better performance.

Yan ang maganda. Makapit na malinis pa. Kung di yan maingay perfect na sya. Will add project mu to the list of brands to try. Thanks bro.

Nakailang palit ka na bro? So ramdam mo talaga na mas pangit yung non-kdm pads?

Cooked my brakes today! The Civic's stock brakes couldn't handle 3 straight hot laps. 😂

Cost me my championship since everyone was running upgraded brakes and track tires, but fun experience nonetheless! There are really some things you need to upgrade to maximize track performance. But 3rd and 2nd ain't bad.

It stopped raining so my brakes were heating up tremendously every lap especially as I didn't have engine braking to rely on.

100% sure mas maganda yung kdm bro. Virtually no dust, little to no noise and up to 20% better bite. From memory 3x na ako nagpalit ng pads, yung 3rd change kasabay na ng palit ng front rotors.

Nice hehe. How are your rotors bro? What gave first, the pads or the fluid? Maybe use dot 5.1 brake fluid next time.

I see. So kailangan pala talaga natin maghanap ng kdm pads.

Btw, nagsakay ako once ng 15 katao. All adults. Mix na ng babae at lalaki. Kayang kaya ng engine. Para wala lang sa engine. Sa brakes ko naramdaman ang bigat. Mas malalim na dapat ang apak. So pano pa kaya ang local na pads

What do you mean with local pads? If Hyundai yan na brand original walang iniba yan at iisang planta lang galing ang parts niyan. Or better look for Mobis brand if that would make you feel more comfortable
