Brake discs ATE or TRW

ATE disks I get come like this. The nice thing is the bits the pads don't ride on stay rust free for quite a long time due to the coating.

Had German ATE disks - no dust whatever.

hatte auf meinem Golf 4 (Variant, 1.9 pd mit 74kw) nur ATE Powerdisk, um den Verschleiß zu sehen, mit vorrausschauender Fahrweise haben die Scheiben immer über 140tkm gehalten, Beläge um die 70tkm. weiterer Vorteil ist die weiße Beschichtung (nicht abputzen!) am Anfang vorsichtig Bremsen, er kann auf den ersten Fahrten auch qualmen. die verhindert aber auch Rost innen der Bremsscheiben für einen großteil der Zeit.

I went with ATE "Powerdisc" discs and ceramic pads on my e39 530d, they're beautiful brakes.

I mostly use ATE. For some more racing i often use Tarox F2000 rotors and Ferodo DS2500 pads.

I used TRW XPS rotor and TRW DTEC pads on my city previously, drive rather spiritually on weekend rides at most of the famous B-roads in KV. No problem in stopping, bite points has improved over the stock

Trw rotors are good. Using for 4 years still vigorous and holds well even entensive abuse and torture.

I have had a positive experience with ATE rotors from a German brand. I had a bad experience with Bosch brake pads in Europe a few times; they squeaked and made noises at low speeds

Zimmerman is a good brand in my opinion. Brembo quality has gone downhill fast with lots of manufacture in China. I bought a set of Raybestos (Made in USA; new old stock I think) and they warped after about 6 months with EBC Reds (I do not recommend EBC). The ATE rotors are OK for street but racing has cause some of them to break apart at the welds on the hats.

I've got cheap discs 15K miles ago and I've got terrible judder under braking (when brakes are hot) for the last 10K miles..I was thinking to replace the front ones with trw discs and jurid pads
