Brake discs ATE or MEYLE

ATE disks I get come like this. The nice thing is the bits the pads don't ride on stay rust free for quite a long time due to the coating.

Had German ATE disks - no dust whatever.

hatte auf meinem Golf 4 (Variant, 1.9 pd mit 74kw) nur ATE Powerdisk, um den Verschleiß zu sehen, mit vorrausschauender Fahrweise haben die Scheiben immer über 140tkm gehalten, Beläge um die 70tkm. weiterer Vorteil ist die weiße Beschichtung (nicht abputzen!) am Anfang vorsichtig Bremsen, er kann auf den ersten Fahrten auch qualmen. die verhindert aber auch Rost innen der Bremsscheiben für einen großteil der Zeit.

I went with ATE "Powerdisc" discs and ceramic pads on my e39 530d, they're beautiful brakes.

I mostly use ATE. For some more racing i often use Tarox F2000 rotors and Ferodo DS2500 pads.

Am discuri si placute ATE de cand am luat masina noua, in 2012. Discurile le-am schimbat de doua ori in 200k km, si placutele nu mai imi amintesc. Tot timpul am pus ATE. Masina franeaza ff bine, si cu praful ma descurc.

I use ATE powerdisc for my e39 with ceramic pads. ATE are oe for bmw, the powerdiscs are just a little nice extra touch.

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.

So my options are just replace rear pads w/ oem pads or replace rear rotors w/ ate slotted ones and ate pads. Basically what I just installed on the pepperwagen. Thoughts??

I bought my Meyle rotors and installed them end of September last year, about 10-11 months ago. They are completely worn out already and need to be replaced.
