Brake discs ATE or R1 Concepts

I ended up buying the drill and slotted rotors from R1 concept and I have the Akebono Brakes. I have had them for a little over a year now and it has been great. My brake power feels better than before and the brake pads are also really great.

Bought them for my ZJ, full kit, great quality. Awesome value.

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.

Picked these up because my ultimate goal was to do something OEM+. These were drilled with a very OEM like coating and when the calipers were painted blue it looked identical to those R32/R36 brake set up. Although I only had them for a short period of time, I've previously used e-Line on other cars and had no problems just like the Premium one.

i have them on my 1998 Golf GTI What i have used since 3 months: ... R1 concepts brake discs (not a famous brand but really nice discs) And then it's plug and play. Pedal feel is very good and it brakes very good!

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.

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.
