I had the car for a about a year after and it held up really well. I’m not a detailing expert but I’ve a feeling some harsh wheel cleaning products speed up the corrosion; certainly the stuff they use at car washes!Courageous wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 8:00 pmRaj how did the coating stand up?Raj_UK wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 7:35 pm I went for ATE discs and Textar ePads all round.

Car stopped very well. Discs were coated and pads caused very little brake dust on wheels

I have ATE discs. No problems at all. For street performance they are more than enough. If you do not plan on some serious racing and boosting your engine with lots of HP they'll do the job just fine. If you're street lunatic upgrade to 3.0 brakes.Courageous wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 2:46 pm
So, regarding the brakes, has anyone any experience with ATE discs and ceramic pads and if so can you share your experiences please? Ceramics are obviously more expensive and I am wondering do they justify the additional price?
Otherwise stick with stock. It's essential! to clean the hubs thoroughly before installing new discs! Or you'll get vibrations and shakes on braking.
