I run StopTech Sport pads on my street M3 for the days I want to give demo laps to my students on days I'm instructing and don't want to do deal with the track car. They work totally fine for both.
I'm partial to StopTech Sports
Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.
I ended up buying stoptech all around and they lsst a twice longer and have a better bite for street use.
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.
We use ATE here in Germany. Rear brake pads will probably require a diagnostic device to disengage the electrical parking brake.
Sounds like way too much for a basic A200. For a dealership I guess it's normal but you can get equal quality ATE brakes for much less than the original Mercedes parts.
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.
