Yep Bendix are over rated and yes they can destroy discs, too hard

while there are going to be differing opinions, for overall consistency I can say
Bendix 4wd are not a bad thing,and i have never had a problem in 30 years of spannering. While I Would have no problem using the repco brand either as they seem quite a good compromise. Cheap pads are usually badly inconsistent. you need to also make sure your rotors are in top order and not glazed.
