Rating 5.0

With a 20% off coupon, it was only $40 more than the other shop, and I got OEM parts. That was almost 3 years ago, and the brakes are still stopping smooth.

Pros: smooth braking, long lasting

OEM brake pads from Audi are mostly good for day to day braking, and some sporty, but not daily very aggressive driving. But they do a lot of dust and noise sometimes. I found the solution to be just change the pads for "ATE Ceramic" if you don't use your car to do track days and very frequent sporty driving. These don't have ceramic components, it's mostly marketing, but they do have two good characteristics from Ceramic pads, mostly zero noise when heated and almost zero dust! And the low dust it produces, it's not black. Breaking power it's maybe a little better coming from OEM, but nothing crazy. Do not use sport discs with ATE Ceramic, the brand actually advises to use normal discs with these.

Pros: low dust, low noise
Cons: less breaking power
Vehicle: Audi A4

ATE Brake pads

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.

Pros: equal quality, much less
Cons: way too much
Vehicle: Mercedes

ATE Brake pads

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...

Pros: works temporarily
Cons: clunk over bumps, rattle
