Reviews of ATE parts For Business

I'll add that I have used ATE rotors with this coating before on the car before my current daily driver and have had good results here in the rust belt. That's why I bought from them again 4,000 miles ago for new fronts on my current car. As with anything, your mileage may vary. I'm sure one could do much worse or much better for daily driver front brake rotors.

I don't believe you lose cold temperature bite with good OEM replacement ceramic pads like from ATE.

ATE Type 200 brake fluid

ATE Typ 200 brake fluid. Great stuff and not expensive.

2013= due for fluid Need dot4 low viscosity such as ATE SL.6 or pentosin dot4-LV

with the 82 I was able to swap in vented rotors and bought the pads that went to those rotors since these are slimmer than the solid rotor ones. Moral of the story vented rotors with their pads = the same width as solid rotors with their pads. That combination only worked with the right calipers that if IIRC are ATE.

I have Bendix/Zimmerman rotors and stock ATE/Brembo SM pads and pound the living s**t out of the brakes on Track Days and HPDE ( instructor ). Other than a bit of fade after about 6 laps of HARD braking I've had zero issues. Pad life and condition is still excellent.

Well, I finished putting my new mk3 drums on the rabbit, bled the whole system AGAIN with ATE superblue, and the pedal doesn't feel any stiffer. I am sure it stops better, but I wouldn't know....there is no engine in it haha On the other hand, got ahold of a new mk3 MC and put it on my mk2 jetta (only 9.4's and 180mm drums, ironically) and it feels great! There is very little travel in the pedal to make it WORK!

I'm definitely sold on ATE parts. They are the OEM on my GTI and have 49,000 miles on all the original pads and rotors, plenty of life left.

Our 03 Variant Tip needed rear pads at 30,000. Got the ATE rotors and "OEM" pads from 1stVWParts. No complaints about price, etc BUT the pads actually put out MORE dust than the stock ones!!!!!
