ATE are OEM, should be a bit cheaper with little degradation in quality, you can get them cheap enough from Otto or the other supplier that I mentioned in a previous post on the subject of your brakes!
I got a set for the rear of an e92 M3 for €89 from Otto, didn't price the fronts.
Had ATE fronts on the M5 with E92 performance brake set up and about 120 from Otto
Not sure where I asked before but anyway thanks... I was thinking of something like a Carbone Lorraine or DS2500 for something better than OEM but wonder if are they worth it... I hear the Carbone Lorraine pads are unreal but only heard reports from a lad with a rally car and afraid they will squeal like Fook...Quote:

Squeek like mad, and if its dark, when braking hard you literally see sparks flying!! I think feroda ds3000 are in the same ballpark.
Wouldn't recommend them for everyday driving. They would wreck your head.
Yea this is what I was worried about alright. Just want to upgrade them to a better pad if I can...Quote:

I had this exact problem only last month - dropped it into the stealer for a look. Took it for a test drive with me and then back to measure the pads. Found a small issue with one pad , a quick rubdown and hay presto. They said it was because the car is a garage queen, with moisture and break dust build up…..Quote:
