How good is Bendix or EBC compared to RB74?
Which would you prefer? what model?
Any feedback on Bendix and EBC?

If the toss up was between any Bendix pad and any EBC pad...........

I would personally go for Redstuffs.

I have had Greenstuffs and EBC rotors for the last 5 years (60,000k's) with no problems until lately. Pads worn and warped rotors.

In hindsight I wish I went the Redstuffs as they are slightly more agressive, The Redstuff's get good reviews from the UK guys.

Cheers

Top stuff. the wife can stop pretty quick. I have the street version so they dont need to much work to heat up. Look tops with the green also.

no dust...good stuff.
