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\u2018d always use ATE, they\u2019re pretty high quality and usually what OEMs use
I used Textar discs and pads all round last time I did brakes and no complaints here. All good and would recommend.
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.
Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints
At 180k I had a whole brake system overhaul, replaced all rotors and pads with new brake fluid. Textar parts all around.
ATE rotors. Check the callipers, they don' t work properly.
Hatte schon Brembo, Ate, Textar, Ferodo, TRW und Pagid verbaut. Vom reinen Bremswirkung fand ich Textar immer am Besten, da war aber auch nach spätestens 50.000 km Schluss mit den Scheiben. Ate war gefühlt ein My schlechter in der Bremswirkung, dafür aber sehr sehr haltbar - die goldene Mitte eben. Mit Brembo habe ich nur schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, die Scheiben hatten nach 2.000 km Schlag, die Beläge wurden ziemlich schnell hart und quietschten wie Sau und besonders lang hielten sie auch nicht - dafür waren sie genau so teuer wie Ate. Habe aktuell Ferodo drauf, die waren günstig und bisher nach ca. 25.000 km absolut unauffällig.
