Never had them honestly what do you like? I thought they looked well made and the piston side is thicker by an 1/8" or so

Bendix actually is a very high quality brake pad, boxed up and relabeled and sold cheap under the Bendix brand. I have been buying them for a few years now. Ran them on my 24 hours of lemons race car, that was the hardest braking I've done, the pads where fine. The braking heat was a problem we encountered. But the pads lived through it.

I like em so far well see how they hold up I got Napa premium pads for the new front calipers. The 1 ton stiff is so much more beef but I don't want the new rears to out brake the clapped out og fronts
 
I didnt see it on the shelf but those spacers could use some anti seize on the inside of the hub to spacer area. Just a little to save some fuss later on.

Yea i still had a lot of on and off today for trimming the shit out of the calipers to fit the 16s but it's all slick now:waytogo:
 
Ended up putting new calipers and pads up front bc I didn't want the brakes in the back to over power plus the pads were kinda shot.

Nikki helped me bleed them after I trimmed more off the rear callipers.

Buttoned everything up and went for a shakedown. I gotta calibrate the vss as it reading too fast and I think it's making the Allison shift way too early to the point I can't feel it but I had it up to maybe 50mph so it's doin something!

Runs like shit though, got a miss or two in bank 2 there's raw fuel. Got a set of Coils waitin for the morning. I also want to steal the optima battery out of the k5 and see if that helps the ecm/tcm stop throwing lights. Otherwise I have a runnin truck again! :saweet:

I think I'll bleed them again as I hate pedal height that low but they stop the boggers pretty well! I'd like to be able to lock them
 
Also solved my charging issues and swapped out my engine harness from the 6.2 diesel that was completely hacked and exposed to a 82 BBC harness in hopes it would resolve some of my grounding/backfeeding issues. Fuel guage and oil psi sender are still not responding.
New set of coils as well. It runs better but I still need to check the fuel pressure. It feels a bit anemic while driving. That 8.1 should move this truck very easily.
Stole the optima out of my k5 bc it's moth balled.
