Does anyone know if BNT's inhouse brake pads are any good for a daily runner! It's not a performance vehicle but I like to have lots of stopping power. Would likely replace all 4 rotors at the same time

I am a mechanic and my work uses mostly bnt branded brake pads ( called c plus). We have found they very good they come with new backing plates already fitted and the always fit nicly into the calipers unlike most other cheap pads. We havnt had any complants from customers about them in the 9+ months we have been using them

My advice- grade 2 is basiacly a tad above std weetbix-ferodo grade2 is lucas grade3bnt! prob grade2/3! DS11 is temp rated to stop a coon from 200 clicks at the tenth stop back to back and is easy on discs but needs warming up-pads are what ya get BRAKES are what ya NEED to WORK when you HAVE to HIT them HARD and then you pay for them to DELIVER AT HIGH TEMPERATURE To me when i say STOP i don't want price arguments

Ive been fitting Cplus (bnt branded!) pads for a year and a bit now - zero complaints , same cant be said for Bendix - they changed formula a few years ago and as bob has said - weetbix lathered on with superglue would be a better compound!! How the mighty have fallen.Ferodo are the dustiest pads on earth, wouldnt put em on a ride on lawnmower myself.

Benix are nearly 3 times the price of Cplus - personally I wouldnt fit another set of Bendix anything (the 4x4 pads are insanely dear & useless - stick to manufacturers pads for 4x4, the ultimate range is overpriced and made of poo, dont get me started on heavy duty - dust, fast wearing, rotor killing crud)

Cplus (bnt) are actually dam good pads I use and recommend them. They go mighty well for the money, which makes them easier on the pocket and bendix use to be good but they are crap now.

don 4 star are soft like butter ,go for ferodo gp from repco, good pad,get 20,00ks to 30000,ks on them used them on taxi;s and they worked well ,lucas pads are last long life ,but loads of vlack carbon, and glaze the rotors too ,drive you nuts at the high pitched noise from them!

We use normally Bendix pads at work. We found Ferodo pads to wear unevenly and chew through rotors quite badly, and unevenly too, resulting in brake shudder. Though in Falcons and Territorys, brake shudder is a pretty common thing regardless of whats fitted to the brakes lol
