Best Brake Pads???

[Ozzie]

Hi all,

This post may have been covered before but I was wondering what would be the best brake pads to use... ie: ones that perform well, dont produce much brake dust and are not tooooo expensive.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bendix GeneralCT. IMO, the perfect balance between dust and performance.

The problem with the other performance pads is that you need to clean your rims every 3 days, for performance you probably won't even need.

Agreed, unless your raceing hard and can warrant performance pads, Bendix general are the go, got them in the VK and VT and they pull up bloody good, especially in the VT which has DBA slotted rotoros

I liked the Bendix CT but I recon they are real dirty brakes.

You sure they aren't Bendix Ultimate? I've had almost 0 dust from CT's. I also vouch for the QFM's. We were literally blackening our rims on the XR8 every 3 days (it has upgraded brakes) and the QFM's made a crap load less dust.

Damn I was gonna say the same thing. Our old pads use to dirty the wheels so bad, not sure what brand they are. But when i replaced the pads i cleaned the wheels up, and their still shinny with a bit of road dirt on them thats all.

[Kikki]

Nah they are CT.... Not my problem now but, they were on the VX lol, but still recon they are pretty dirty compared to anything else I have had on (please don't ask me what coz i wouldn't have a clue hehe)

Another vote for the QFM HPX's cos I sell them too.

[bradcad]

another for the QFM's, and i dont even sell them

thanks guys!

The brakes are @ about 55% so I will be getting some new pads soon.
Also the disks that are on it have a glaze and scream like hell, Im 99% sure the last owner put cheapie pads on it from Kmart.

I like EBC pads, but they are not cheap.

For the record, I've got Bendix Ultimate on the front, And EBC Black Stuff on rears.

I do a lot of towing, and also a LOT of up&down mountain work, so the Bendix Ultimates are GREAT.

But i am sick of cleaning my wheels every day!

Then grab the QFM HPX. The same performance but without the rotor wear and dust...

A few people who had the Ultimates and went to the HPX have compared them here:
