I have just recently replaced the rotors and pads on my 82 diesel westy.
Brembo rotors I think, and PBR Deluxe Ceramic pads.  I could not get the PBR
Ultimates as they appear to not make those for the Vanagons any more a
boufter being bought by their present owner.

So far, so good.  About 200 miles on them, or so.  Don't know how these
compare with the Bendix pads.
