Brake discs ATE or Centric

I run ATE Powerdisc and ceramic pads too! The discs look amazing and the lack of dust is lovely.

Full ATE PowerDisc and Ceramic pad brake overhaul done today - I’ve run these discs & pads a few times now on previous E39s inc. both my Jap import E39s and they’re superb.

Excellent bite from the off / cold and little to no dust.

I went with centric blank rotors and stoptech street pads wasn't hard at all.

I am a big fan of Centric 120-series brake rotors and either Akebono ProAct or EBC RedStuff pads.

I\u2018d always use ATE, they\u2019re pretty high quality and usually what OEMs use

looks like ate power rotor (at least ones i had with "flower" shape were ate power). grewt rotors, a bit noisy on braking, but when flower is gone, rotor is for trash also... btw pad is upside down

I haven’t seen those ATE rotors in awhile. I used them and liked them.

ATE rotors. Check the callipers, they don' t work properly.

Yes. I previously replaced my OEM brakes with Centric rotors bought from Rock Auto then recently went with Brembos due to the warranty.

It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.
