anyone ever use Sumitomo OE brakes or Bendix brand?

Anyone here use the Sumitomo ceramic brake pads ? Or Bendix? I have an '02 TL-S. I had AXXIS pads, but man, they wore out quick! In like a year! With less than 10,000 miles. At first, I liked them, but it sucks that they wore out so quick.

I have the Bendix semi-metallic brake pads, I thought it was a weird brand at first, but then again, they hold up pretty good -- I've had them for half a year/11,000 miles already and they're not even half way worn yet... let alone, I drive hard on those things. if you go to www.thetirerack.com, you'll probably find better more reputable brands.

i had bendix pads on my TL before i switched to EBC GS. The bendix pads had very little brake dust so i regret changing to green stuff pads because my rims are black after about 2 days.

bendix is a top brand in the category of just having brakes that work, for people that just buy it and forget about it.

when i do'nt feel like searching and trying to find a good deal with price and performance and stuff i just buy bendix.

The mechanic I took my car to do the breaks touted the bendix said they were so good blah blah. Shortly after my rotors started shaking real bad. Don't know if it was the pads fault but I have heard they were kind of a cheapy brand anyhow.

I used Bendix years ago....but stopped using them on my previous car since there was only a $10 dollar difference between them and the genuine Honda pads.
