my 2 cents on brake pads.. The original one is a very good all rounder. decent bite, decent wear, decent noise levels rotor friendly (most of the times, cant say the same for some conti cars)

about 100ish after market pads, is garbage, poor bite, some last very long some dont, some rotor friendly some arent.

those better ones like your bendix ultimate. good bite, noise levels sometimes higher, not rotor friendly, wear rate very high (comes with better bite)

ive tried many brands in the market.. most of the 100ish ones are really bad and i wont bother with them.. wanna be safe, original ones will tick all the boxes an original brake pads requirements

interesting, if it is authentic stuff would be worth a look. They are a known brake caliper manufacturer
