Brake pads ATE or Raybestos

I will move to Raybestos EHT or PowerStop Z23 or Z26 when its time. Wagner has Thermoquiets for those with ear problems.

I'm running Redstuff as well - they are OEM compatible.

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

I'd just buy any of the old line good quality aftermarket that are aiming at OEM. Raybestos, Bendix, Wagner. Or just buy BMW OEM.

AC Delco for electronics. Moog for suspension. Raybestos for brakes.

brakes are replaced by Raybestos Police purpose built brakes, and any other part, interior or exterior, is replaced as needed.

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.

Cracks in front brake pads, approx 15k & 2 years on them. Raybestos Element3 Hybrid Tech.
