Brake pads ATE or Hella Pagid

I don't believe you lose cold temperature bite with good OEM replacement ceramic pads like from ATE.

I put ~$120 worth of good Pagid pads on my 525i and had ZERO regrets. Especially for being freakin' $880 cheaper than the dealership! Brake pads take all of ten minutes to DIY, no reason to spend that much.

I have Bendix/Zimmerman rotors and stock ATE/Brembo SM pads and pound the living s**t out of the brakes on Track Days and HPDE ( instructor ). Other than a bit of fade after about 6 laps of HARD braking I've had zero issues. Pad life and condition is still excellent.

I'm definitely sold on ATE parts. They are the OEM on my GTI and have 49,000 miles on all the original pads and rotors, plenty of life left.

Some new brakes, as the old ones are, well old & warped! ATE POwer disc's front & rear.

I used ATE pads, ECS Slotted Front Rotors/plain faced rears, and did a brake flush with ATE Type 200 fluid. Now that my brakes are good and bedded, I can tell there's a significant improvement especially in the rain.

I had it resurfaced and changed the pads to ATE ceramic pads. Now all my problem are solved.

i had ATE with mintex red pads, but they warped in abotu 9 months... prob due to excessive braking. now i put on the zimmermans. they look great on the car, and im happy with the braking so far, though its only been 1 week.
