Our most popular brake pads are the Bendix CQ® ceramic brake pads, which utilize Non-asbestos organic ceramic technology, and are designed to meet original equipment vehicle specifications. Delivering performance and value for a wide range of domestic and import applications. Ceramic materials are continuing to grow in popularity on both new vehicles and in the aftermarket NAO ceramic fibers have been used in Bendix® products in varying capacities for years. In addition to Bendix brake pads we also carry King Kaliper brake calipers, the best rebuilt brake caliper available in the automotive aftermarket.

  • Utilizing our NAO/Ceramic technology, the Bendix® brand offers a line of ceramic brake pads that deliver performance and value for domestic and import applications.
  • Bendix CQ® ceramic brake pads are designed to meet original equipment vehicle specifications
  • Shims, slot, chamfers to mirror or improve OE design for quieter braking
  • Formulated to generate less dust, improving wheel performance.

Through our extensive OE experience, we have developed friction formulas for many of the vehicles on the road today, and that experience enables us to stay ahead of the technology curve in the aftermarket. Bendix CQ® Ceramic Brake Pads provide smooth braking performance, greater stopping power, quieter braking and less dust. NAO ceramic friction materials are recognized by original equipment vehicle manufacturers as an option to reduce noise, vibration and harshness performance and minimize brake dusting.

DUST
Dust has become one of the key factors in North American OE brake development - especially with the growing popularity of alloy wheels. As a result, we're constantly working to lower dust generation. Our new, cleaner friction formulas were developed using Design-of-Experiment (DOE) techniques, which allow our engineers to select the appropriate raw materials to reduce rotor wear - the main cause of brake dust. We studied material composition, particle size, and chemistry - and, then chose the right mix of materials to minimize brake dust.

NOISE
Bendix® is doing research in noise technology that's unheard of in the industry. Brake noise itself is caused by vibration. To measure vibration, we use advanced modeling techniques, including Finite Modal Analysis. By suspending a brake pad, attaching a small three-axis accelerometer to it and then tapping it with a small force hammer, we're able to get a computer-generated readout on how the pad is vibrating. Our engineers can take this information and create an accurate computer model of the pad. From there, we design chamfer, slot, and shim (insulator) configurations to minimize the audible noise frequencies
