Brake discs ATE or MEYLE

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.

I upgraded slightly by going with GLI brakes front and rear. Did basic Meyle rotors with Akebono ceramic pads. Couldn't be happier.

About a year ago, I installed a complete Meyle control arm kit in my B7 A4 Avant . At the same time I installed a set of Meyle geomet coated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads on all 4 corners. The car still rides, handles and stops like new. The rotors still look new with no warping and no rust after a tough New England winter.

I'm running Corrado G60 11.0" front calipers and carriers, and MKIV alloy rear calipers on my 97 Jetta GT with Meyle plated rotors. The rotors are about four years old, and still look almost new. A few small rust dots are showing, but not the massive rust that you see on most two and older rotors, and virtually no wear of the friction surfaces.

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

I've had Meyle Corrado G60 11.0" 4-bolt rotors on my 97 Jetta GT for two years, and they are barely wearing (plating is gone off the friction surface of course, but holding up well over the rest of the rotors).

I'm kinda partial to Meyle plated rotors. They're inexpensive, high quality, and appear to be wearing well on my 97 Jetta GT (Corrodo G60 11.0" front calipers and rotors).

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.

Both brands of rotors are made by the same vender. Ive used both and there is no difference. ATE is another story,dont ever buy ATE,oem replacement crap.
