Bendix Ultimate +

Anyone tried these ?

They seem to be ceramic and less noisy and less dusty than the usual ultimate...

I am looking for something that is less dusty than Remsa which I have now...

Apart from dust I really like Remsa pads, but curious if anyone even tried these ...

I had a Bendix rep bring them in, in their fancy case when they first went to market last year. They looked pretty.
Rep said he’d get some samples because before he started his spiel, I asked are they stupidly dusty like the standard ultimates that are already on my car.
Despite not seeing the samples. I have tried to sell plus’s based on their marketing but neither a trade or retail customer has bitten the bait on me yet.

Seen them and yea the marketing looks good, but ceramic pads downfall is the bite of a semi metallic pad and ability to handle heat. The upside is low dust and quiet.

So unless they have found a way around this, I stuck with a semi metallic compound anyway but interested to hear others who have used them.

... Ultimates they are not
dirty dusty rotor munching crap

Ultimate = metallic compound
Ultimate + = ceramic compound

So in theory the plus should have fixed the issues about dust and rotor wear, however the question is how the performance has been affected.

If we blindly believe Bendix, this sheds some light on that

Apparently better at everything than Ultimate except for cold performance coefficient....

Blue Stripe technology, I don't understand it but I can't say no, I'm sold.

When will we be able to buy new SCB rotor and pads

Cold performance is what is required for a daily driver, so a no from me, they might be OK for a low powered light car that hits the track for a happy lap or 3

The only time I "warm up" the brakes nowadays is at the big end, where they don't get hot enough to fade, on the street I cruise around and never get the brakes to the point of fading, my pads are Forza FP1, minimal to no dust, quite, and great cold bite

I rate them over Bendix Ultimate for my application

I heard good things about Forza FP1.
