Brake pads ATE or DIXCEL

Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.

If I remember correctly, you could also use brake pads from a VW delivery van, which was slightly larger than the VW bus. All you had to do was go to ATE etc. with the right number and you would get the right pads. When you asked for some for the Porsche 944, they said they didn't have any. The ones for VW only cost half as much.

Mein Mechaniker meinte zu mir beim letzten Wechsel letztes Jahr ich soll mir keine brembi kaufen. Hab dann auf die ate für meinen Golf 7 gegriffen. Hab zwar noch keine Meinung zur Langlebigkeit aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Keine unwucht keine Geräusche und bremsen gut.

Letztens auch bremsen vorn gewechselt und zu ATE gegriffen, bin sehr zufrieden.

I have always ran DIXCEL Z on all my cars. Extremely quiet once you bed them in and has a temp range of 0-850°C with a friction coefficient of 0.67. They're just a bit dusty.

I went with ATE all around, very very good for the price.

I only use ATE. Just got new Pads and Dics in Front and Pads in rear on my m235i Brake dust is there but no to extreme.

Sounds like way too much for a basic A200. For a dealership I guess it's normal but you can get equal quality ATE brakes for much less than the original Mercedes parts.

YES! i have the same issue and its mental. DBA Slotted Rotors and the Street Performance (Green) Pads, clunk over bumps and when moving back/forward D/R etc. Rattle is 99% from the left side / without the depth check. DBA said to extend the shims so they stick out further, and it works temporarily for about a day, then back to normal. Everyone is recommending the ATE pads, so I might try them, but if these rattle too not sure what to do...

Hatte mal teure ATE Bremsen die sofort verrostet sind. Nie wieder.
