    It helps to use it immensely.

    I've done it with out, and it's a pain.

    ok guys, update here. I purchased the ATE ceramic rotors as well as ATE pads from Eurobahn here on the forums and I can honestly say that all is going well. There is no squealing or funny noises. I have only done 150km's on them so they have a couple of hundred more to properly bed in but they are at about 90% full braking capability at the moment so that is what I wanted. I just wanted the OEM feel and operation. To date the brake dust does seem less but I will hold judgement on that until things settle down. One thing I will quote on is the bloody weight of the front rotors!! My good ness they are a hulking mass of metal. I totally undercalled on the weight with the freight company but I got away with it as I didn't get a call up about it. I would put the rotors at somewhere around the 20kg mark. I had them delivered with two boxes taped together so it took a little to lift them up!! The rears were a little easier to deal with. Anyhow, I can vouch that the ATE products are working well together at the moment but I will chime back in with another report in a few hundred kays when they have properly bedded in.

    I have ATE OE style front rotors (not the slotted ATE Power ones) with ATE ceramic pads.
    They are brilliant. No noise, and NO DUST!!!

    I don't know what the ATE power ones are but it sounds like kamold and I are running the same and I can vouch that they are good so far and yes I know it is a little early to really say.

    They look like a good thing. Sourcing them is another matter.

    I'll find out tomorrow if HSY can get them.

    So here's the final verdict. I am pretty certain that now that the brakes have bedded in that it would be extremely difficult to tell the difference between he oem brakes and the ate which is a good thing. There would be a bees ***** in it with the oem brakes possibly having a little more initial bite but like i said, extremely negligible so i can vouch for these brakes for those looking into replacement rotors and pads.
