If you’ve still got UFO fronts the part number for pads is ATE 602847 (13.0460-2847.2)
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
If I remember correctly, you could also use brake pads from a VW delivery van, which was slightly larger than the VW bus. All you had to do was go to ATE etc. with the right number and you would get the right pads. When you asked for some for the Porsche 944, they said they didn't have any. The ones for VW only cost half as much.
Mein Mechaniker meinte zu mir beim letzten Wechsel letztes Jahr ich soll mir keine brembi kaufen. Hab dann auf die ate für meinen Golf 7 gegriffen. Hab zwar noch keine Meinung zur Langlebigkeit aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Keine unwucht keine Geräusche und bremsen gut.
Letztens auch bremsen vorn gewechselt und zu ATE gegriffen, bin sehr zufrieden.
I went with ATE all around, very very good for the price.
I only use ATE. Just got new Pads and Dics in Front and Pads in rear on my m235i Brake dust is there but no to extreme.
The MK7 R community seems to like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Though I had a love-hate relationship on them. Centric claims no bedding was necessary... so, I listened to them and found the lack of braking dangerous. Then, one late night, on an empty highway, I bedded them in with about 10, 70-5 mph medium to hard slow downs, got the rotors heated up and brake pads smelling... then drove on the highway for about half hour, then turned around and went home and let the brakes completely cool. Then I loved the brakes.
We use ATE here in Germany. Rear brake pads will probably require a diagnostic device to disengage the electrical parking brake.
I noticed my M3 HB 1.5l 2020 (second hand) has rear ATE brakes. The car has 29k km on the clock and at 10km/h I can hear intermittent squeaks from what I'd assume are the brakes which sounds like there's some contact between the rotor and pads at specific point and only seems to happen when the brakes are warmer so no idea what's going on there.
