I put ATE performance discs & ceramic pads on my e39. The discs won't make a difference but it's nice to pair up brands. Ceramic pads make a huge difference to the amount of dust though.
Cele mai bune placute aftermarket sunt ATE normale, ATE ceramic nu franeaza la fel de bine, dar tin mai multi km.
Am avut textar, trw, trw ceramic, ate normal și ate ceramic. Dintre toate am fost cel mai mulțumit de ate ceramic. Praf aproape inexistent, frânare bună, preț decent
ATE Ceramic sunt bune. Praf aproape deloc.
Volvo uses ATE, Textar brake pads, Zimmerman, Brembo, ATE rotors. i've been using these volvos for years and have had no problems.
Personally very much like ATE ceramic pads.
OEM brake pads from Audi are mostly good for day to day braking, and some sporty, but not daily very aggressive driving. But they do a lot of dust and noise sometimes. I found the solution to be just change the pads for "ATE Ceramic" if you don't use your car to do track days and very frequent sporty driving. These don't have ceramic components, it's mostly marketing, but they do have two good characteristics from Ceramic pads, mostly zero noise when heated and almost zero dust! And the low dust it produces, it's not black. Breaking power it's maybe a little better coming from OEM, but nothing crazy. Do not use sport discs with ATE Ceramic, the brand actually advises to use normal discs with these.
Brakes feel fine when driving, but after they cool and I go out again, the pedal feels spongey. A few hard stabs and it returns to normal, until I come in and let it cool. No fade while driving, and pads survived despite having been on the car for over 2 years of road use, although they need replacing now really.
I use Ate pads on mine, they feel great and have lasted fairly well but dust like CRAZY.
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.
