  Resit for my pad  Free Endless Sticker from Centrax  My previous pad, see the braking surface is only spot in the middle but not the whole surface area. Im not sure this is genuine pad or Bendix pad,~~ but Im sure this might be the reason of "uneven braking (left and right disc), causing strange rubbing noise. Hi guyz, as I mentioned that my braking system (should be brake pad) got a strange rubbing sound. So end up I installed this product, Endless VN8500. it costs AUD160 (parts) + AUD(installation & disc machined) = AUD260 at [BNE] Centrax. the price is good as this brand is the most reliable product in braking system. Honda genuine pad would cost AUD300 so U could save AUD40 ^^~. Well, I can't really tell how good the pad is as the Centrax technician asked me not to hardbrake it for the first 50km~ But all I could say is, I could feel that the braking force is very good due to the higher friction material of the pad. I would rate 3 out of 5 stars at the moment coz I haven't fully tested this product yet ^^~~ |

vn8500 is the starting level of endless pad. Its performance is similar to the oem pad. vn8500 is also absolete oredy, being replaced by vn9500 (from memory).. as for the operating temperature should b around 0-300 degree. to be frank, u can get other branded brake pad with the temperature 0-500 degree for the same price as vn8500. this is just my point of view, not saying that vn8500 is no good....

im also using the same pads and i can honestly say that they're heaps better than the factory pads. even though these are only entry level street pads they really bite hard and best of all the dust doesnt seem to be as bad as i initially thought.
you could probably get better 0-500 such as Winmax pads for around the same price range but Winmax leaves alot of dust residue on your wheels. also, i think higher specification pads tend to be harsher on your discs and wears down the rotors faster. to me the endless 8500 is more than enough for the jazz.
