Reviews of ATE brake discs

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

These ATE PowerDisc includes front brake discs, front brake pads and sensor; and I am pleased with them.

I did ATE disc's and Bosch ceramic pads. Was the cheapest for stock replacement while getting good quality.

FWIW: I replaced the rotors (ATE), pads (Akebono), and brake fluid (Pentosin) last year, which cost me $291 and was not difficult at all.

I replaced mine two years ago, both rotors and pads front and rear, with VW parts purchased from VWpartsvortex. As I recall, they were not Brembo, probably ATE. I spent a total of $718 on the set, which seemed reasonable considering the rotor size and how long they last. So far, the new ones are performing very well. As an aside, a few years ago I replaced the rotors with Brembos on a Subaru and was disappointed: the front ones warped almost immediately. The bottom line, I'm afraid, is that it is no longer enough to rely on the brand, especially if sourced on the secondary market. At least with "VW" marked parts the reputation of the vehicle manufacturer is on the line, though even that may not be enough to ensure high quality.

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.

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.

ATE orbital slotted rotors are the best I've used so far for the price.

get aome ATE powerslot rotors, and some hawk hp or HPS or HP+ pads, which ever u think will work...and you'll have stopping power..big time.

I already have the ATE Premium One rotors and Hawk pads on my 1982 Caddy. They don't have the initial bite but are good once they heat up, but still require adequate pedal pressure to ensure an emergency stop. The ATE Premium One rotors are great especially in the rain because they absolutely have that initial bite.
