According to Bendix, brake pads is one way to upgrade the braking system, and there are plenty of options available. However, it is easy to overdo it and spend way more money than the consumer will ever use in performance. So how to know which performance brake upgrade is for you?
As usual, Bendix argues, it depends on the application. For street driving with the occasional spirited driving on curvy roads, heavy duty pads such as Bendix Metal King Titanium is more than enough. Bendix Metal King Titanium is made with specially formulated compound, which the company claims can deliver heavy-duty performance under loads at high temperature, and last up to twice as long as all-pur- pose standard brake pads.
The economic consequences have also been taken into consideration by Bendix when formulating a new com- pound. It must be long lasting without being unduly harsh on rotors. With the backing of the best technology from around the world and its unique testing laboratory, Bendix met all these requirements to make it the ideal heavy-duty pad replacement. These pads, stressed the company, have been extensively tested in the lab and on the road. They not only work better – they work longer.
pads, Bendix noted, is the exclusive insulation layer (Insu- layer) sandwiched between the backing plate and the fric- tion material. The insulation layer assists the adhesion of friction material to the backing plate and minimises heat - age to the calliper and ensures a positive pedal feel at high operating temperatures.
Today, Bendix Metal King Titanium has more than 400 refer- ences available covering the majority of car models in Ma- laysia. Email Bendix maker at sales@fmpauto.com.my for further inquiry.
