ATE Brakes

[zjared]

My ride is W212, 2011 car. Everything is stock except for bilstien. My brakes botak already. What do I have to buy if I want to change to ATE brakes. I read the threads, don't understand a word. Do I have to buy the Rotors? Or it is a choice?

Bro, ATE is the brand of the ceramic brake pads. Rotors not included as you will still be using the original Merc rotors (new or otherwise).

I have used them before, it truly is dust free & works even better than original pads. You only need to buy frt, rear pads & 2 sensors. Go get them from Goldenlink.

Yea go get from goldenlink. I replaced my rear ate ceramic brakepad (less brake dust)

They got sell rotor as well. Can call up them and ask

So is it a must to buy rotors? My original is not new, travelled 56000km. So can I still use them or do I need to replace them once hit certain mileage? I see they have a few branches, so which branch should I go?

[jtang]

IMO, change all your rotors...it's recommended that u change them at 60k km. The Goldenlink that I go to is at Sin Ming Autopoint.

My front rotors needed changing every 40-45k. The rears were still ok at 82k per C&C. Therefore, at least change the fronts. I went to Goldenlink Bk Merah to get my ATE pads.

I want to put B8s on my 2010 W212. Which ones do you have and how are they? Are they a bit lower than stock?

Mine is pps10, I believe you can adjust one. It is lower than stock. I can't tell if it is better than stock after driving for 6 months. What I can say is if you can't tell, then don't waste the money to change it. My 2 cents. I trade in AMG rims for stock rims, I did a lot of funny things that waste a lot of money so now I will not waste any more money on useless things especially I am not well-verse in car items.

Traded in your AMG rims for stock??? This one wins...1st time hearing this.

many dealers will tell us that they are not interested with our few hours old rims, only tires. maybe we should tell them likewise when we buy their used rims..."your rims are worthless, i am only interested with your tires" ...just kidding.

Speechless...

Anyway I'm not complaining, willing buyer, willing seller.

ATE ceramic brake pads don't generate so much brake dust than original pads, but the fine brake dust actually cake onto the rims and makes it difficult to remove. You need special cleaners like Sonax extreme wheel cleaners to remove it.

I am finding more brake dust on the front rotors in my W212 than when I first installed them about 6,000 km ago. However, it is still less than original and no problem cleaning. Certainly better than original. I would say they are now only slightly cleaner than original especailly after rainy days. However, the rear ones remain a lot better than original. dunno why there is a difference compared to original.

Hi guys, any recommendation for workshop that provide the labour to change the brake pads n sensors only?

[Wipeout8]

Checked with chip soon n they charge $185 per pair (w/o gst) for labour n ATE pads.

[Tzw]

Reasonable bro. Goldenlink selling about 135 without labour

Benz World, Permas Jaya in JB charges RM126 for installing 4 discs and 2 sets of pads.
