I had my wheels off yesterday (as one does) and was closely inspecting my front brake calipers... and hey-ho, what do I see under the VW symbol and Audi's rings? A little imprinted ATES logo!
So that guy who stuck a Brembo sticker on his brakes (I forget who, sorry!), you should take that off and put an ATES sticker on! :biggrin:
I should've taken a photo, but didn't have a camera on me... next time I take one of the front wheels off I'll be sure to grab it.
The rear calipers are some other company, TTI or something like that.
Now, as for the advice - I'm gonna need some new brake pads, front and rear, real soon. Any thoughts as to some good replacements? I do a lot of driving with a track day every few months, so something that'll last a while yet have decent stopping power will be nice. I'm tempted to go and get the ones that VW fit as standard since they work pretty well, but was just wondering if there's anything better than them around (presumably, there is, just not sure what). Any advice'd be appreciated.
