Default Bendix Brake Pads-Any Good???

Looking at new brake pads for the 'Kota. Checking out what rockauto has, a buddy recommends Bendix. I'm taking his word for it, but looking for some input.

On the website they also list these pads in a "SEMI METALLIC BRAKE PAD" or a "FLEET METLOK BRAKE PAD". Is there any difference in these or one any better over another for the truck?

Any info would be great!

Thanks

I've always heard good things about Bendix. I put them on a Liberty I had a few years ago and they were good, no complaints. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, the Fleet Metlok pad, I think it's a severe duty version?

I need to put new front pads on my truck as well. They are new, but I don't know what the dealership (Nissan) I bought this truck from put on it, but they squeal and produce more brake dust than I've ever seen. I clean my wheels every two days because it's so bad.


I also just put a set of Wagner's on my wife's '04 Grand Cherokee, and I'm happy with them as well. Minimal dust, no squeals, good stopping.

Let us know what you go with and how you like them.
