Anyone have experience with ATE parts. I have read that they supply OEM parts.
Are they worth using to save money over factory parts?

Only thing i have used are 323mm A8 disks (rotors to you
). Not the best item to judge quality but cant fault them really, have a coating to stop rust, haven't warped, and seem to be pretty durable.

They make the OEM calipers for some BMWs.
Like above i have no bad experiences with their discs, although i have removed some rear ATE pads from a golf before and they were in a shocking way!! Large parts of the friction material on one pad had chipped off, and the other the whole block of friction material fell of the backing plate when i removed the pad from the car. These pads were probably quite old, but not something i would expect to happen IMHO.Black B3 1990 CQ 2.3E converted to ABY & 6spd. (301bhp) - Now Sold

Thanks for the info... Ate is 180 USD less than the cheapest Audi version of a brake master cylinder I want.
I think I will order the Ate.

Guy,
FWIW, I'd happily use ATE parts, over Audi branded parts, assuming the Audi parts are dearer, as i'm sure they will be in all cases.
