Brake pads ATE or OEM Volvo

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.

Bought my gf a 96 850 turbo meticulously maintained, odo is broken at 312, car should be neering 500k, doesnt burn leak anything, drive amazing on the high and returns 21.3 mpg, only think i dont like about it is no off the line grunt and the brakes arent the best.
