Brake Pad Thread [Merged]

[JapanABC]

Drop some links and independent studies where those assertions were based on. They're one of the big names in brake assemblies and friction materials and I don't think they would sully their brand name over provably questionable business practices.

I imagine marami din fake and "class A" counterfeits, so maybe the competitor who made that comparison used those instead.

Why would another competitor use class A counterfeit products for comparison which it will not release accurate comparisons of the said reputable brands, authorized products can be easily purchased from authorized distributors and dealers from their website. Chaka those who make imitation products would rather make fake products of Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan and etc... rather than copy low price aftermarket products. Since those sellers have an easier time selling fake Toyota products compared sa aftermarket brands asides sa mas easier for them to sell mas mataas pa profit na pwede nilang ilagay sa mga fake Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Honda and other original car brands na parts. Kaya mas majority lumalaganap na fake parts ay yung mga original car manufacturer brands. Also magsasayang lang sila ng oras to use a fake product for testing purposes tapos madedebunk din ang claims nila in the end, mas better siguro sa long term plan to just release the true information instead of myopic reasons na competitors will use an imitation para lang mag prove ng something that will harm them in the short term, mawawalan pa sila ng integrity if they show false results.



They are one of the biggest pero they do not in any way manufacture their own brake pads as per checking sa website mismo ng Brembo Italy, ALL OF THEIR FACTORIES mentioning only producing disc brake calipers and other hydraulic braking metal parts, but brake pads zero. They just outsourced their aftermarket brake pads from China. Not one Brembo factory produces any friction products, even their originally supplied brake pads sa car manufacturers are not manufactured by them, they just supply the whole brake system(disc caliper, brake pads, rotor discs & brake hose as a whole set) to the car manufacturers.



What their China aftermarket division plans and execute does not mean the same as what you think they will do or not do. This the proof that Brembo had outsourced all of their aftermarket brake pads from other brake pad companies in China.



Also if mapapansin din na sobrang mura ng Brembo, even way lower pa prices niya sa brands like Bendix.

Ah, you're correct that they do not manufacture the pads themselves. They do get them from different 3rd parties like SBS. I'm thinking maybe products sold in Asia uses pads sourced from China. NA market from Mexico, and Europeans from Germany or Italy. Just a guess.

Hindi ko nga maimagine sa simula eh, biruin mo yung Brembo may patong na sa binili nilang outsourced brake pad products sa ibang kumpanya sa China pero namanage parin nila masmura pa sa Bendix, ano nalang kayang natitira na features doon sa product since may middle man cut na si Brembo. Hahaha

Magkano ba ang bendix?
Yung nabili kong brembo brake pads for Isuzu Mux ay nasa ~P9,000 (~P4,500 harap at ~P4,500 likod). This year lang yun.

Nasa P1,250 nalang yung current price ng Brembo ngayon ng pang harap ng Isuzu Mux nung pag tingin ko sa Lazada, yung Bendix nasa P1,200, P50 nalang difference ng Bendix and Brembo for front brake pads ng Isuzu Mux. Hahaha

Clarify ko lang, kung tama ang pagkakaintindi ko sa sinasabi mo.

- There are two kinds of brembo brake pads being sold in PH market now, 1 is fake brembo and 1 is legit brembo.
- Whether legit or fake, brembo is bad for the brake rotors

Tama ba intindi ko?

[hardwang]

I thought Brembo brake pads were made by Akebono too.
It says that on the box.




There is also a QR code on the box, when scanned shows this:

No I didn't say na may fake Brembo sa market, but Brembo aftermarket division in China decided to drop the price to match Bendix, but the legit Brembo aftermarket brake pads are not good for the rotor discs.
