Default Anyone replaced front brake pads with Bendix brand? What about Raybestos?

Went to local parts shop this fall to get new pads and the ones I got aren't fitting right, so they're upgrading me for free to a Bendix pad, see link to their site...thoughts?


Would raybestos be better?<ul><li><a href="http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?PartType=219&amp;PTSet=A&amp;Sear chFor=Brake%20Pad%20%2F%20Shoes%2C%20Front">Third set down</a></li></ul>

I've used Bendix pads but not on my Audi, good OEM quality pads, a little dust.

Why limit yourself to those two choices?

Default i would ask for a refund and get a different pad. Something like a ferrodo ds2500 will be

much better overall.
