Which would you choose? Advance has the Bendix for $57 each. Autozone has the Duaralast for $37.99. Which are the better value? I figure the Bendix are better, but if the Duralast are OK too, I'd rather save $40. I'll be using them with Raybestos semi-metallic pads. This is a 1997 XLT V8.

Thanks!

I have the Duralast for $37.99 (or was it $39.99). The only difference between these and Autozone's $19.99 break pads is that these don't squeel. The Duralast has that brush silver metal plate on the outside. It shines through the factory wheel. It looks nice.

I would get the cheaper one and try it and then get the Bendix next time around if you aren't happy with it. JMO.


edit: Nevermind. Misunderstood the whole thing. :D

Bendix...its a premium brand on par with Raybestos and Wagner. They're a superior rotor.
