Bendix Metal King Gold

[mengz]

any of u know the effective operating temp region for bendix metal king gold? i tried searching high and low on the net and i can't seem to get any details regarding this brake pad. tried www.bendix.com.au they only have bendix Advance, General CT, Ultimate and a few others.

so Bendix Metal King Plus & Gold is manufactured by whom and where? and how do i know if its original and not some counterfeit product? im using the bendix metal king gold currently, and if i still cannot get any details regarding this brake pad then i might just switch to EBC blackstuff which is good from 0-400 celcius :P

thanks in advance!

lots of brake dust, that's what I heard

mengz : use the Bendix Metal King Gold longer n u'll realize how much harder it is to brake ... and the brake pads never seem to wear off, but ur disc will instead.. lol .... that is what i heard ..

And the working temp is juz too high for ur normal street users to utilize fully... Just go for Silver. :regular_smile:

heard? lol

iam using bendix metal king gold, and till now the dust isnt dat apparent, and stopping power is superb!! discs rnt warped, and the pads do wear off. working temp too high? its the best for street, imo. ive tired branded pads, and comparing performance wit the price tag, bendix is the best option so far. the pads BITE HARD!!

heard...

Heard man, heard.

bendix no longer product bendix metal king gold. now known as something. they got more range now from luxury to sport brake pad. now call some other name.

Also using Bendix Gold. Better than AFI/Mintye definitely but aint as good as Ferodo for the same price range. Lousy at high speed hard braking compared to Ferodo. But pretty good for city driving as its quite grippy at normal driving. Good value for money I'd say but if you can find Ferodo, then go for Ferodo. I'm also looking for Ferodo pads but kinda hard to find :sad_smile:

lousy at high speed braking? i dunno how fast u meant bro, but i never had any problem to brake from 180kmh. ive heard about ferodo, but because d brand is hard source out, i use bendix instead. bendix has come out wit a new range, titanium strip which i heard (again.. lol) doesnt have to be bed in, u can just install and break like crazy.

 

[nitrus]

what about EBC brakes, good?

 

[huakenny]

[xtremeleo]

what about EBC brakes, good?

even a lousy brake pad can slow down from 180km/h. just a matter of the distance. try out ferodo and then compare. :_:
u'll understand when u're hitting 180km/h and out of a sudden someone swerve into your lane with 80km/h.

ferodo? yeah, heard alot of good comments abt it as well. i think i'll try ferodo after my bendix pads are worn out. maverick, u from pj area? if u from pj area, u can head over to PH auto at seapark, they sell ferodo pads there.

 

[nitrus]

how much is this Ferodo brake pads?

 

[howiechoo]

i got fren selling ferodo pad at low price..if any1 wan can contact me...btw, i also wanna try it....anyone tried b4? pls give comment...

 

[mengz]

nitrus, according to my club member, he is using a vr-4 twin pot caliper and the pads cost him rm150+ for a pair at the fronts. so for my putra standard calipers, im assuming it shud be around the rm100+ region as well.

 

[nitrus]

mengz : tnx for the info bro .... PH Auto at Seapark, RM100+ ... ok .... i wonder which part of seapark ..?

 

[m a v [3] r i c k]

mengz,
yeah ferodo is better than bendix based on my experience. got mine for a very good price for my single pot. now my friend's workshop not taking in ferodo anymore. gotta source it elsewhere for my twin pot. any contact number and landmarks for PH Auto? quite familiar with PJ cos used to stay in DU.

to u guys planning to use ferodo,
please check the model online before buying. they have several models for the same caliper.:_:

 

[mengz]

thanks for the info maverick. ermm, PH auto is facing Maybank & Shell Petrol Station at seapark.

oh yah, i went online to check for Ferodo brake pads, it seems they have 1 model for normal use which is Ferodo Premier & Ferodo DS Performance for slightly higher performance. then for racing its DS3000,2000, and a few more according to www.ferodo.co.uk

i'll go over to PH auto and check the rm150 my fren is using is Ferodo Premier or issit Ferodo DS Performance.

Hmmm... be prepared to pay 5 times of RM150 for the DS pads :X-:
