Reviews of ATE parts For Business

I have Ate rotors and Mintex Redbox on my Golf 2.0 and it stops well...no brake dust and the bite is much better than stock pads although it could still use a lot of improvement though.

ATE powerslots are plated, they dont really rust. the braking surface will eventually, when the plating wears, but the reas of it lasts a long time. I like mine.

I have a Golf 2.0 GL replaced front brakes with ATE rotors and Mintex Reds this time last year.

Agreed with RacerX on all his posts. As an FYI, the VW "high performance" brake fluid sold over the counter at VW dealers is actually better than Castrol GT/LMA and is cheaper(at least around here).

i had ATE with mintex red pads, but they warped in abotu 9 months... prob due to excessive braking. now i put on the zimmermans. they look great on the car, and im happy with the braking so far, though its only been 1 week.

I have ATE powerdiscs on front and Zimmerman Xdrilled on rear. They both rust. I haven't had any problems yet with warping on either but I installed them about 2-3 monthes ago. I've heard that the Xdrilled can begin cracking around the holes so I'm watching out for this. So far I'm happy with the setup. I also have the mintex redbox pads. Slightly better than OEM and a whole lot less messy. My rims don't collect much dust anymore.

You can change to vented 9.4's; without changing the calipers! Just get vented rotors and the corresponding pads. The rotors are no different. Adirondack does a Mintex Red Box pads/ATE PowerDisc package - 2 rotors & a set of pads, $84.00.

For anything including the occasional hard track day, it's hard to go wrong with Zimmerman or Brembo rotors (not drilled or slotted!), Hawk HPS+ pads and ATE Superblue fluid. But that's just my opinion...
