I'm probably looking at new brake pads for my GD. I understand there's probably million of opinions on this according to availability price and perceived quality that have been discussed previously.
but what pads "in Australia" would you recommend?
Bendix have good reviews, but they're pricey, and in my FD and Kia Cerato they creaked..
thanks

Happy with original manufacturer equipment (ome) ?

Have used Bendix on the good Wife's car (I have never changed a set on any of my Hyundais). I would recommend the OEM as she got twice the distance out of them (in a fd i30). There is a set of GD oem pads on ebay for about $80 delivered on Ebay, but check with your stealer (get the part number and compare with Kia as they are often cheaper).

I don't know whether the parts are the same in the UK, but I've found Bendix or Delphi to be pretty good, Brembo disappointing. A word of caution though; when I changed the rear pads on my car, when I collected the Bendix pads, they were lacking the pip on the backing plate which aligns with the slot in the caliper piston. The store also opened a pack of Brembo pads, and their own brand, and neither of these had the pip either. In the end, I bought Pagid pads from another store, these had the right pip and were supplied with new shim plates (the thin folded plates that clip onto the yoke that the pads slide along).
Eventually, I decided to buy the genuine Hyundai pads when I saw a set at a reasonable price on eBay. The quality is a lot better, the backing plate is stamped very cleanly and well finished. I'll keep the Pagid pads for the next change after the warranty runs out.
Whatever you buy, check whether new shim plates are included. If not, you will have to buy them separately at additional cost.

I think i'll go with Hyundai.
I remember a while ago there was a website I used for genuine filters etc (in Australia) was great price, even better than ebay.
if anyone remembers.....
