Brake pads ATE or POWER STOP

Power stop z17 all the way. Very good quality pad. Never really knew that pad quality mattered until I had a couple cars with squeaky brakes only to find out that installing the power stop pads resolved the squeak. They’re always good about coming with hardware.

I've used Power Stop Z17 and Z23 on many many vehicles with no issues. No noise, low dust, excellent bite.

I put ATE performance discs & ceramic pads on my e39. The discs won't make a difference but it's nice to pair up brands. Ceramic pads make a huge difference to the amount of dust though.

I did all 4 Brembo rotors + Z23 Powerstop ceramic pads for ~$400 from Rockauto on my F15 35i last year. The Z23 pads are a favorite amongst the X5M crowd I’ve been loving them for over a year now - don’t usually buy Powerstop but these are great. All around great setup

Been running Powerstop for the last 4 years…have been solid for me, no issues.

I have touch of squealing when I first leave my driveway in the morning. I have about 20 miles in them so far (changed last week). Performance is great no complaints.

Dust is gone.

Dust decrease was excellent and I had a smidge of squealing at very low speed initially, but it’s resolved after a few weeks.

The OEM pads do not dust like some aftermarket do. I replaced my fronts with OEM, and a couple years later replaced the back with Powerstop from RockAuto - the front dusts significantly less.

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.

Bought a set of Powerstop pads and rotors for my Avalon. Every single pad had paint on the edge that prevent the pad from sliding smoothly. Ended up sanding the edges of all 8 pads before I could install them. The rotors warped in 20k miles on the front, and 1 of the pads cracked...
