We have these Pads here, and they are about the same price retail, or even cheaper through us. However they are only average in performance. Im using Bendix ultimate for high speed braking performance in the BMW and Bendix Advance in the Starion for medium speed! How about i send you some oscar and get a group buy going over there?

these are the advance pads which are good for normal driving with some speedy stints. Use the ultimate for high speed thrashing!

Flav...

You are saying that the Bendix are better than the AXXIS ?
We can get Bendix here but no one has ever comented or used them here in the US !

Bendix is standard fitment for a hell of a lot of cars here. Their Ultimate, Metal King and Performax ranges are quite good. I upgraded to Performax pads on an old car of mine and I couldn't get them to fade at all.

Do the widebodys use the same pads?

I read somewhere they do, disks are bigger but calipers are the same.

Does anyone use them on Starions over there?

My friend just told me that AXXIS are made by Bendix. He works in a specialised brake shop here.

I used Bendix Metal Kings which retailed for $80 for the fronts and they work awesome and when on the brakes hard and never got them to fade.

Well HERE in the US Bendix is just not a well known Hi-Perf Pad name. BUT AXXIS Previously REPCO they are the best you can get assides from Full ceramic pads.

But if you guys are saying that AXXIS are made by Bendix then I guess its just a matter of personal prefference huh ?

I know that Bendix was the company that first introduced/invented the Disk Brakes and I think ALSO the ABS Brake systems. So they are the company to use on brakes componets.

But again we dont hear too many guys here int he states saying "I love my Bendix Brake Pads"

OK thats it for me... I'll go play outside now :D
