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
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
got powerdiscs on my v50 and they seem great.
ATE rotors. Check the callipers, they don' t work properly.
Rotors for my 25 year old car with a discount cost like 50 eur per set and they not the worst ones, but something known like TRW.
On the way back it started shuttering bad while breaking, especially down hill. I took it back to the place that did the brakes and they said front rotors were overheated. The parts are TRW (pads and rotors).
