Re: brake pads review
I've used the Bendix Heavy duty. I gave them a 'meh' sort of 5/10
Wore very quickly & were super dusty. Braking performance was ok I spose.
The better Bendix pads are the Ultimates. Much better performance.

EBC red stuff. Great pads for road use and the odd day on the track.

EBC green stuff, dust is medium-low, and they work very well. Carbitz in Melbourne sell a full front set for $170.
