Built tough for Aussie conditions, this comprehensive kit includes specially compounded high performance ceramic material brake pads for increased stopping power in extreme conditions plus the latest Bendix Ultimate 4WD Disc Brake Rotors and calipers designed and developed specifically for Australia’s demanding conditions. This Bendix 4WD Ultimate kit is made specifically to fit Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series, made from 08/1999 until 08/2014 without ABS. This kit has been re-designed for aftermarket lifted cars, able to accomodate those with 4" lift. The brakes require a minimum of 17" wheels for sufficient clearance.

Why do the brake upgrade?

• 4x4 ute’s brakes are smaller dimensioned to many of the family cars and SUVs.
• Once additional accessories and load is added, braking performance deteriorates further. It is not uncommon to see 400+ kgs of additional accessories added to the base vehicle (i.e. bull bar, winch, lights, roof-rack, fridges, camping equipment, etc).
• Larger diameter tyres also detract from the vehicles braking performance.

The outcome from this high performance brake kit with technically advanced additional strength ceramic brake pads, Ultimate 4WD slotted disc brake rotors (larger diameter on the front), larger Bendix calipers and Ultimate 4WD brake hoses results in a firm brake pedal that won’t over expand under pressure, a reduction in brake dust and braking noise along with thermal stability in high temperatures and resistance to brake fade.

Advantages:

• Any vehicle that has had mass added to it by the addition of accessories as above, carries trade tools or a performance upgrade.
• Any 4x4s that regularly tow heavy caravans, boats or trailers.
• Disc brakes also continue to perform well when wet, unlike drum brakes, so 4x4s used in off-road conditions, river crossings, etc.

Kit contents:

• 2 x Ultimate 4WD Disc Brake Rotors

Bendix 6-Piston Monoblock Calipers are included in the Front Kit and Bendix Calipers in the Rear. The calipers with their extra pistons are designed to apply greater pressure to the brake pads, resulting in a shorter stopping distance.

Designed to meet Australia’s tough 4WD conditions, the Bendix Ultimate 4WD Brake Pads deliver increased stopping power when you need it. The high performance brake pads utilise a specially compounded high performance ceramic material that functions in extreme conditions.

Ultimate 4WD Disc Brake Rotors are manufactured to the highest level of precision engineering based on OEM specifications and incorporate innovative technology such as 4WD Metallurgy for increased braking performance plus special diamond tip slots and a special bi-directional pillar design to quickly and efficiently expel gases, water, dust and grit. Together this provides the driver with absolute control when braking in extreme conditions with instant response and even friction.

Easy to fit braided brake hoses with a protective sleeve are included with each designed and manufactured in compliance with SAE J1401 specifications.
