Brake pads ATE or R1 Concepts

I'm really liking the ATE pads I got for my 340i with the brembo F/Rs.

I went with the pads from ATE and got them fitted today, all in all it cost around 200 USD / 2000 SEK. 2 years ago the mechanic told me all 4 brakes need replacing. Today when they were replaced the rear ones had about half of the material left and the front 1/3.

Got them on. Lasted for a good amount. 20k miles. Weekend track slowing from 160mph+ don’t use ceramic pads something softer would be better

I went ATE pads and rotors from FCP and couldn't be happier

I run ATE Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my MK7 and am very satisfied.

I have R1 on now all around and no issues since.

Running the R1 concept with ceramic pads now and have no issues. They bite a lot better then the stock setup I had on it before.

I put ATE on my 335is a year ago and am very happy with them. Almost no dust and good stopping power. When they were new, the initial bite was a bit weak, but that went away after break in.

Get ATE or Textar pads, buying more known pads because they are "performance brakes (which you see at the register)" is basically throwing money away just because "they are expensive so they must be better" and is idiotic imo.

Red doesn\u2019t have much dust. Same with green. I don\u2019t recommend the R1 concepts sport pads. They are very dusty. Almost worse than stock. Bite and feel is good though.
