Brake Pad Thread [Merged]

[travajante]

Bendix Mintex of Australia has a joint venture with Honeywell Bendix of the USA. Most pads we get here are from Australia. Some Honeywell Bendix pads from the US are manufactured in China. I've tried both from Oz & those from the US which are China-made. For the same pad specs, they behaved similarly.
I'm not sure if the China ones sold in the US are the ones meant as fake here...they really are not.

Boss meron daw fake na Bendix, made in China yun daw ang kumakain ng rotor ayon sa Suzuki FB post.

Yung orig daw made in Australia ay okay naman daw.

If you want to know Bendix is exclusively distributed by All Inclusive in the Philippines, they are the only authorized stockist of Bendix brand brake parts.
They stock Bendix General CT(Blue), 4WD(Red), Heavy Duty(Black), Metal King(Silver), Ultimate(Violet), & Euro(White & Grey).
They mainly produced items in the Thailand factory, mostly the Thailand factory brakes are being sold to Southeast Asia.
And most of the complains right now for Bendix is maingay daw based on the retail shops reviews regarding the brand. Even authorized resellers know about the noise complains.
Also the distributor of Bendix is already importing another brand called "Prima"(Green box with mention of Bendix group) which is a lower category of Bendix which is being supplied by the same Thai factory and part of the Bendix group, this is targeted for those consumers who aim for cheaply priced brakes.
Try to compare side by side Bendix brake pads unboxed and unsealed with Genuine pads or other OEM brand pads you can see the big difference in moulding and quality of the pads they are quite rougher in built quality. As of my knowledge regarding Bendix there are no China plants that Bendix owns.

Metal King and Ultimate are your rotors worst nightmare believe me many of my friends had their rotors eaten by too heavily metallic based pads which Metal King and Ultimate are composed of, you can try to shake the pads in the sun light or regular light if it reflects the light like a steel sheet then it is composed of high concentrations of metallic materials which will eat up rotors.

Ohhh imports, not meant for the local market. Did you buy it on e-bay? Note: Guys ingat lng dahil naghahasik nanaman ng lagim ang asbestos pads sa market like LKC(yellow and violet packaging) and other very cheap brands magiging maalikabok ulit & hazardous air quality natin dahil hindi lng jeepneys, taxis and other puvs ang gumagamit kung hindi pati private vehicles narin, don't cheap out on air cleaner filter(for your health) and air filters for engines don't risks your health for a few bucks. If nagmomotor yung iba I suggest you buy an anti-pollution mask.

Based on the info around the world the two top original manufacturers of brakes are Akebono and Brembo.

Akebono is oem to Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru, Isuzu and all other Japan domestic auto/truck makers, overseas customers are GM, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Porsche, Mercedes & etc..., they also supply brake parts to Japan's bullet trains(Shinkansen), Japan's elevators, hypercars like Mclaren and F1 Mclaren racing and Japan's windmills, Japanese motorcycles, industrial heavy equipments and etc...

Brembo is oem to Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette and Mercedes, overseas customers are Ford, GM, Fiat, Nissan and others. Also Brembo supplies to a F1 team.

ATE is oem to most of the German car manufacturers like Mercedez Benz, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen and etc...

Sadly we have no laws in Philippines regarding the banning of asbestos. Manufacturers in Malaysia and other developing countries have little laws on controlling asbestos use. LKC is manufactured in Malaysia and material is asbestos, asbestos is a cheap material it is readily available. Only USA, Japan, most parts of Europe and other developed countries have banned asbestos completely. Jeepneys, buses and trucks buy from our domestic brake lining manufacturers which use asbestos as the main ingredient in the friction material.

Jeez. Am not gonna go outside anymore haha. I hope lawmakers take notice. Banning it sounds like something a lot more useful than renaming streets.

How about a Tsikot party list? Someone's gotta look after car owners' welfare

I rarely go ebay....They're quite common in US automotive parts shops & Amazon. The US Bendix PNs differ from Oz 1s.

Hahaha I agree, lung cancer or other lung diseases are no joke. Imagine you are a healthy person and non-smoker but because inhaling high volume of asbestos gives you lung cancer or damages your lungs permanently.

That maybe true a long time ago, but time has changed hehe people are now health conscious about getting lung cancer. As 1st world countries like the US, Germany, UK, Japan and etc.. have banned asbestos production for construction, automotive and other products, importation is also banned already. What we need is a really really 99.9% filtration for cabin filters so that it could filter harmful contaminants or pollutants from going inside the car through the aircon as this also affects how the car environment inside like sometimes old cars really smell because the owners were not good in cleaning their cars plus the air and aircon cabin filters they use.
