Brake discs ATE or Raybestos

I went with Raybestos for the rotors and pads this time since they’re a brand I’ve used before and trust for consistency.

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.

For rotors, raybestos is a solid bang for your buck and I haven’t had any problems with them

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.

OEM rotors rust like that in snowy areas, they look unevenly worn. If it gets a little worst you’re going to replace the pads and rotors. Ray bestos makes pads/rotors coated with zinc that won’t rust like the OEM ones.

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

Get Advics as they're closest to OEM money can buy, stay away from Raybestos i've had nothing but quality issues when I got those rotors.
