Reviews of ATE parts For Business

ATE Typ 200 is more than enough for autocross & daily and lasts longer between recommended full flush.

It’s dirt cheap and holds up well. I’ve used it for track duty for years with regular changes and no issues.

This weekend one of my cars got brakes (all four corners and I mic'd the rotors), and a brake fluid flush. FCP Euro supplied all the parts. ATE (original equipment supplier for Mercedes Benz) rear pads- $20, front pads- $60, ATE fluid $15.

Then, I bought ATE rotors and kept OE pads. ATE resolved problems; there was no vibrating for 22,000 miles so far!

I got ate powerdiscs and they are pretty good! I got them as a set with ate pads. I wish they had a bit more bite but maybe that’s due to being 296mm, maybe bigger brakes are needed next time

stick with ATE or akebono. both good for their price. have ran both on my e39 and they work great with their respective rotors

FWIW I wound up with those Brembo front and Zimmerman coated rears with ATE ceramic pads and I’m very happy with it. To me the stock setup is grabby at low speeds and these are much smoother. I don’t feel like I’ve lost any stopping power. Huge difference in brake dust.

I literally just did exactly this.. Had the BRAKE warning light on the dash and replace rear brakes on Idrive message on my 2019 X3 M40i at 32k miles.. rear rotors looked fine to me.. they were smooth and not grooved.. so i bought OEM ATE PADS and a BOWA rear brake sensor.. $128 shipped from Pelican parts and i was charged 1 hour of labor ($135) at my local Indy shop.. as others have mentioned youtube is your friend.. just a rear pads replacement is a pretty easy job w basic tools.. I should have done it myself but I decided the $135 cost was not worth my time and effort.

Zimmerman is a good brand in my opinion. Brembo quality has gone downhill fast with lots of manufacture in China. I bought a set of Raybestos (Made in USA; new old stock I think) and they warped after about 6 months with EBC Reds (I do not recommend EBC). The ATE rotors are OK for street but racing has cause some of them to break apart at the welds on the hats.

I have been running Super Blue in mine since last fall. Just recently I have developed a squeaky clutch pedal. I thought is was just because the car was getting older.
