bendix brake pad part number for 99-01 itr

[vinnY]

trying to track down anyone thats bought some bendix pads for an itr recently, checked on bendix.com.au and they don't seem to list the itr at all.

would the pads be the same as a prelude vti-r?
i've been advised that its either DB1206 or DB1286 but just want some conformation before i go and order them

thanks guys!

DB1206 for the front

and for the rear DB1265

found a few threads with the same answer but they were 'i think it was' and 'it should be'

[EG30]

knowing the Bendix pads catalog ( and others like RDA simply copies theirs ) often gets the listing wrong more often than right...

I always take the old pads out and trace an outline as a template to check when I pick up the new pads from my fren's brake shop.

pic of the set of ultimate pads i bought last week:



and all I can say it's that the 1206 would fit our 99 dc2r.

best way is to remove old pad. trace it onto piece of paper, then bring it to the shop.. saves time and hassles..

good advice EG30

DB1286 for Ek civics 98 to 2000. I beleive they were for some dc2 as well but not ITR

EG30 - how much did the ultimate pads set u back?. assuming they're for the dc2r... i got quoted around 150

and how do these pads compare to oem dc2r pads

[Limbo]

yep would like to know also cos i was gonna get some.
Where you buying ti from also?

[EG30]

cost me just under $140 for the ultimate, which is pretty expensive for a bendix pad. They are often on special say few times a year and would be about $100 or so when they are on special.

would have gone for the Lucas/TRW pad instead for about $80 if I knew the ultimate would cost me $140.

don't forget the dc2r brakes are huge for the weight of the car, and the pads are bigger than many new commodores so it takes a lot of effort even on the track to get them over 450-500C.

if Bendix Ultimate and OEM pads were the same price. which would u go for?

and how's the brake dust and noise from the bendix pads when braking?

[vinnY]

well it appears that db1206 is shared by a few manufacturers, ended up with some ferodo formula ts2000's for mates rates, waiting for my other brake gear now so i can bolt it all up and see how it performs

apparently bendix ultimates are pretty agressive pads, likes to bike into rotors and throws out quite a bite of dust from what i've heard

any opinions from people who have actually used them?

[EG30]

they all dust and bite hard onto the rotors thus causing rotor wear. Some more than others though. But I see rotors as consumables and doesn't bother me if I need to change my rotors every 2 pads change, esp RDA rotors are so cheap these days ie I only paid $40 more for the PAIR of RDA slotted rotors than the set of Ultimate pads.

If you had late model BMW eg E46 3 series onwards, even with geniune rotors and pads you change rotors EVERYTIME to change pads as when the pads are done the rotors will be near its minmum allowable thickness. Why? It's that they specify the rotors to be nice and soft and the pads fairly agressive for max performance, feel and very importantly no noise/squeal from the brakes.

So back to the pads....Ultimate from my past experiences with them in HSV Comodes ( 1700-1800kg car ) without big brakes option, they work really well, very agreesive initial bite, plenty of metal and carbon dust and some noises during bedding in. Not sure how they'll go in the dc2r as the car is much lighter. Won't surprise me if ABS comes on often even in the dry esp with the shitty Yoko S drive I've got on the car which doesn't grip that well.

I opted for the ultimate as I thought I give them a go on a honda, after fitting a few sets of Lucas TRW pads that I've been very very satisfied with them. The lucas dust ALOT, mostly black carbon w/out much metallic dust to kill your wheels coating and very quiet, rotors surface always consisently fresh and shiny and rotors would survive 2-3 sets of pads. And they are cheap.

Will fit the ultimate on my dc2r this weekend along with the slotted rotors and Lucas rear pads. Will let you guys know once bedded in say after 400-500km and I give them a hiding.
