Anyone ever used ATE ONE brake pads ?

[JustinC25]

Just curious as I gotta do another brake job this weekend in my friends 2000 Corolla and might give them a try. I'm trying to decide between ATE, Raybestos PG, & Wagner Thermo Quiet. (All are ceramic.)
I've used the other 2 with good success, just wondering if anyone has experience with them ?

They are a susidiary of Continental Tire AG.

They supply alot of parts to VW and BMW.

Everything from economy pads for an entry level Golf to ulra-premium pads for 7-Series sedans.

I used them about 15 years ago on a 1987 BMW 528e. Worked fine.

Nothing great.

Don't have any experience with them.

The only Wagner ThermoQuiets that are ceramic are the new ones that have a part number beginning with QC.

I've used many brands of Ceramic(Satisfied, Bendix, Raybestos, Centric, Akebono) and really like all the ones that I have used. Now, Im buying by price because of my experience, they have all worked well in my applications(quiet, low dusting & good braking). Try this method!

I've used the ATE One pads w/ATE Premium(eliptically slotted) rotors on the rear on my Volvo. They did offer good stopping power but the pads did generate a lot of dust. The pad compound for my car must be very aggressive because they wore the rotors down to min. thickness within 45k miles.

These are the ones I have in the Camry.

Have you thought about the Duralast C-Max? Very good pad and the warranty cant be beat. Also very good price

I have the ATE rotors and pads (front only) on my Matrix. They took a while to bed in. NO noise and VERY little dust. ATE makes the rear rotors for my car but not the pads...hmmm.

Not familiar with ATE brake pads, but their rotors are top quality and not terribly expensive.
