About ATE Original Disc Brake Pads
The ATE Original Disc Brake Pads line is engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications, providing reliable braking performance for premium vehicles. This product line focuses on quality materials and precise manufacturing processes, ensuring compatibility and consistent braking behavior. The 609031 disc brake pad set is part of this line, designed specifically for BMW models requiring semi-metallic, slotted pads with a steel backing plate.
Product Details and Specifications
These disc brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 19.00 mm on both outer and inner pads, contributing to longer pad life. The semi-metallic composition offers a balance between braking efficiency and wear resistance. The slotted design helps to channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The steel backing plate provides structural integrity, and the friction material is integrally molded to the backing for secure attachment. While the pads are prepared for a wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included. Mounting hardware, pad shims, abutment clips, and brake lubricant are also not included with this set.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on BMW M5, M6, 735i, and 528i
