Brake pads Brembo or ATE

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.

For normal use, I recommend ceramic pads like ATE Ceramic, EBC green/red stuff or TRW D-TEC, since they're lower dust, and lower heat. Otherwise, go with Ferodo Premier eco friciton.

I recently bought brembo pads and rotors for my 330 e46 , got a great deal on them

I've been using Brembo pads for more than 300km after bedding. The package is super tidy. It came with an installation manual. The pad looks beautifully made. The materials feel nice. The Brembo is way more smoother than the OEM (Textar). Textar is more harsh, especially in traffic. I swapped the pads with Brembo and the problem of stopping smoothly went away instantly. It creates way less dust than Textar.

That would be Eicher disks and Brembo pads.

I'm in the UK and just got a good deal on Brembo disks and pads which I think are pretty good. Definitely avoid own brand stuff from parts stores. The Honda disks and pads are really good but a lot more than the Brembos cost. I also got a remanufactured genuine Nissin caliper which was remanufactured by Bendix for less than 1/3 cost of a new one.

I use brembo pads from ecstuning.com , dont buy parts on amazon or from china when you have a much better source available. I have ECS's own 2 piece rotors on front and brembo rotors on rear, my braking is really powerful and has lasted a long time despite what people say about ceramic pads and drilled/slotted rotors

ATE Ceramic pads and ATE disks are my go to because they are OEM, but a little extra performance on top. Zero complaints at all from me and they are quite reasonable price wise too

OE benz brakes have small depressions drilled in to the face of the rotors. When those disappear, you need new brakes. If you see dimples, go on to the next square...I have a 2019 C43. Second set of pads front, Second set rear, 106k miles. My wear indicators are almost gone, so I have a set of OE brembo rotors and Benz pads sitting on the shelf. I am waiting for the dashboard warning light...front and rear have a sensor that will alert you when you are almost done.

I replaced the front brake pads on the F56 LCI2 Cooper S with Active cruise control and bought the Brembo P06 093. The pads seems to be a bit smaller than the OE ones so sometimes they make noise on rough roads. They also came without the back part to cover the caliper piston and they make an awful amount of dust.
