Your cars gonna eat those cheap ****ty 55 dollar pads like theres no tommorrow. I was getting about 8k outta a set of the $40 ferodos. Brakes, tyres and suspension are the three things you really dont wanna be a tightarse about

Despite what people say about Bendix, I would go for them again. I originally went the Ultimates when I first had my VT but found that the amount of brake dust coming from these pads was beyond ridiculous.

So Coventrys recommended me the Bendix Heavy Duty's. These stop my car a charm, are s**tloads cheaper then the Ultimates and emit much, much less brake dust.

I have also tried Green Stuff brake pads. If you're keen on cleaning your rims every week coz of excess brake dust, by all means, believe the hype on these pads get them on! Don't say I didn't warn ya!

I just bought DBA slotted cross drilled rotors front and back, and I'm just wondering if ferodos, or bendix brake pads would be hard on them?

The AC Delco pads are meant to be good quality, you can get them from Holden for about $45 a set and for rotors try RDA either standards or slotted.
My VY has genuine pads on it now with slotted rotors and stops fine. I'll be trying AC Delco when these wear out, they have done about 40,000km and are about 1/2 worn.
