Re: Can anyone comment on "Bendix" brand brake pads?

I've also noticed that I get some mild squeaking from the rear brakes even when the peddle is not being applied, I really havn't had time to investigate that further but I didn't notice it before the pads were changed. So far I've put about 20k miles on the pads and they hardly show any wear.

Are the Semi-Metallic pads the same as the Titaniumetallic?

I haven't had any problems with the Titaium-Metalic as far as squeaking goes. Very quiet
