Anyone using Bendix CQ Brake Pads?
Are they quiet and fade resistance?
For my 4th gen, I'm very pleased with the IQ version which is not available for 6th gen. The IQ version is quiet and does not fade during stop&go traffic like the OEMs.

 

we use them on the higher end cars that come into my shop and they work great, they make less dust on the rims too

 

search?

 

I had them om my old Deville with Cross Drilled rotors and they worked like a champ.... Very quiet with very low dust, I will be looking into these again for my Max or I might lean towards hawk pads.

 

I emailed Bendix and it appears that the IQs are being replaced by CQs.
I know Hawks are good, but overkill for me.
P.S. I've been here long enough to do a search before posting.


First of all, thanks for buying Bendix. We have transitioned many IQ part numbers the CQ formula. The reason is that most later model Import cars use a ceramic formula as OE equipment and CQ is better suited for those applications.

To answer your questions

Fade- The same, same testing and pass fail results.

Noise- CQ is better

Dust- again CQ is better.

Let me what you think after you install them.

Had them on a late model Mustang, they were quiet and dust free, should work the same on a Maxima.
