Detailed Product Overview

ATE engineers this Original Disc Brake Pad line around a broad range of vehicle-specific compounds, and this part number 602601 follows that approach with a semi-metallic formulation sized for front axle use. The pad dimensions include an outer and inner friction thickness of 18.50 mm, with outer pad height of 70.10 mm, inner pad height of 75.10 mm, and a 129.00 mm width on both pads. The design also includes chamfered edges and preparation for a pad wear sensor, helping it align with modern brake system requirements.

This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 0 986 494 940) for the same application. It fits 2022-2023 BMW 230i, front; 2022-2023 BMW 330i, front; 2022-2023 BMW X3, front; 2022-2023 Toyota GR Supra, front; and additional front applications across BMW, MINI, and Toyota models listed in the fitment data. Searchers looking for BMW 430i front brake pads, BMW X2 front disc brake pads, or MINI Cooper Countryman front brake pads will find this part number 602601 listed for those applications.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Worn front brake pads that reduce braking effectiveness
• Brake noise caused by aged or uneven pad friction material
• Brake pedal feel changes from depleted pad thickness
• Sensor-related service intervals on vehicles prepared for pad wear monitoring
• Fitment issues when replacing OE-style front pads on supported BMW, MINI, and Toyota models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad hardware condition before installation. Clean the caliper bracket contact points, confirm the pad wear sensor setup if equipped on the vehicle, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure for bedding-in the new pads. Because fitment varies by caliper finish and brake package, confirm the notes for your specific vehicle before ordering.

Quality Assurance

ATE Original Disc Brake Pads are ECE-R90 certified and built to meet regulated braking standards for replacement use.
