It’s dirt cheap and holds up well. I’ve used it for track duty for years with regular changes and no issues.
Pros: dirt cheap, holds up well, no issues
This weekend one of my cars got brakes (all four corners and I mic'd the rotors), and a brake fluid flush. FCP Euro supplied all the parts. ATE (original equipment supplier for Mercedes Benz) rear pads- $20, front pads- $60, ATE fluid $15.
Pros: original equipment supplier
Vehicle:
Mercedes
Then, I bought ATE rotors and kept OE pads. ATE resolved problems; there was no vibrating for 22,000 miles so far!
Pros: resolved vibrating problems

Mileage: 22000 km
I got ate powerdiscs and they are pretty good! I got them as a set with ate pads. I wish they had a bit more bite but maybe that’s due to being 296mm, maybe bigger brakes are needed next time
Pros: pretty good, good quality
Cons: lacks bite
Vehicle:
BMW
stick with ATE or akebono. both good for their price. have ran both on my e39 and they work great with their respective rotors
Pros: good price, work great
Vehicle:
BMW
FWIW I wound up with those Brembo front and Zimmerman coated rears with ATE ceramic pads and I’m very happy with it. To me the stock setup is grabby at low speeds and these are much smoother. I don’t feel like I’ve lost any stopping power. Huge difference in brake dust.
Pros: much smoother, less brake dust
Cons: stock setup is grabby
I literally just did exactly this.. Had the BRAKE warning light on the dash and replace rear brakes on Idrive message on my 2019 X3 M40i at 32k miles.. rear rotors looked fine to me.. they were smooth and not grooved.. so i bought OEM ATE PADS and a BOWA rear brake sensor.. $128 shipped from Pelican parts and i was charged 1 hour of labor ($135) at my local Indy shop.. as others have mentioned youtube is your friend.. just a rear pads replacement is a pretty easy job w basic tools.. I should have done it myself but I decided the $135 cost was not worth my time and effort.
Pros: easy installation, inexpensive parts
Vehicle:
BMW M4
Mileage: 32000 km
Zimmerman is a good brand in my opinion. Brembo quality has gone downhill fast with lots of manufacture in China. I bought a set of Raybestos (Made in USA; new old stock I think) and they warped after about 6 months with EBC Reds (I do not recommend EBC). The ATE rotors are OK for street but racing has cause some of them to break apart at the welds on the hats.
Pros: OK for street
Cons: break apart at welds
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I have been running Super Blue in mine since last fall. Just recently I have developed a squeaky clutch pedal. I thought is was just because the car was getting older.
Cons: developed a squeaky clutch pedal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
