Hey guys. was looking to get a set of bendix ultimates or other pads but i was told that i have to upgrade my rotos because they said the upgraded pads will shred the rotors?

the bendix ultimates wont do anything to oem rotor discs. unless you go for hardcore ebc pads like yellowstuff then yeh but not for bendix ultimates

i put ultimatess on my sisters corolla no problems so far, been 15-20,000kms since

Hey man,
I wanted some ultimates also, but discontinued, so i just got the general CT pads instead, apparently just as good! Hopefully fitting mine soon
I mean later on i want to go all way out and get upgraded kit but for everyday driving use the regular general bendix is sweet to use too:thumbsup:

I use Endless CC-X on my daily. It's been 20,000km and still on stock rotors.

Just keep in mind this isn't a Hyundai econobox. It comes with good brakes and pads from the factory. Unless you are driving real 'arrest me' hard I doubt you will experience fade on the road.
