Rick’s review of Bendix brake pads and rotors

I’ve used Bendix brake pads and find them to be excellent quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as an option. Personally I’ve been using the Wagner OEX pads because they’re built on a galvanized steel backing plate with a mechanical attachment system so I don’t have to worry about rust
