am using Bendix MKT at d moment. pedal feel abit on d stiff side. ladies (wives) may not like it. stronger legs needed. abit warming up needed in d morning too.

braking - slight tap on pedal will reduce speed quickly. very much improved confidence when following cars closely (cucuk-ing). ultimate grip more or less like stock, meaning not easy to lock wheels, but can feel grip with much less pedal travel compare to stock.

rotor wear - i assume will be higher than stock cos of harder/metallic compound.

i'm getting lots of bad reviews from Bendix.
there were cases where even the Ultimate model caught on fire after one time of intense braking.
Metal King Titanium, lots of dust and making a lot of noise. So, i dont really prefer Bendix.
Thats why im opting for something else.

Thinking of getting Ferodo Zero, Rapid Stop and still checking on other brands.

normal brake pad no matter which also will have dust
even the OEM one also for me consider alot of dust
if dust is your issue thn change to ceramic pad...i'm using them too
totally no dust

It is obvious that brake pads does produce dust. Im quite skeptical about Ceramic pads because you need to warm them up before it reaches the optimum performance.

My wife will also be driving this car so, i prefer to have the brakes working even when they're cold.

What ceramic pads are you using?

no dust mean our sport rim won't become dirty (normally front rim got dirty compare to rear rim), am i right?  hmm.gif
how much does it cost? and how was the brake efficient?

Its not possible to not have any dust at all, due to the friction produced to stop your car. Less dust, maybe.
My 2cents.

It could be possible that your rotors has been slightly 'Warped'. If you are not familiar with the term, kindly click here -------> CLICK HERE

Well, mine too. after my brakes heat up for a bit, i will start to feel the minor vibration.

new car until 68k now din service brake at once, i think is time to... unsure.gif

68k? without servicing brakes? well, you need to keep the car running but you also have to remember that you need to stop your vehicle on time. Do you want to sacrifice your life and others because, I bet your car is fast, but not able to brake on time?

What i can suggest you to do is to bulk order with me on a new pair of Brake pads, then the both of us can have better sleep at night and we can save more on the new pair.

Anyone else interested? PM ME. cool2.gif
