    Anybody that has used these have any feed back? Or suggestions.
    I usually only buy plain rotors, these seem to have an effective anti rust coating and the little groove pattern looks neat. 115+k on the OEM rear rotors about to replace.

    I ran front and rears of those for a couple of years while I was on R53 calipers and loved them. Worked fine, always looked good and the price was right. Coating is awesome.

    Wish they would make R56 front sized rotors - I'd buy 'em.

    If you got 115k out of the stock rotors, you should get another set of them, that's a lot.

    Blimey, that's the just what I wanted to know. You got good service from them.
    Way, I would but the OEM are more expensive and wasn't ATE an OEM supplier?
    I put some plain FROZEN ROTORS on the front about 80K + ago, they have been through one set of EBC greens and are on the last of a set of EBC reds, with about a quarter of an inch of pad left.
    The rear has the OEM rotors on the secound set of OEM pads with about an eight of an inch of pad left @115K as mentioned.
    Am I talking myself out of the ATE rotors for some more plain FROZEN ROTORS or what?
    I do like the wear groove pattern and the coating though.
