Default ATE PremiumOne brakes

Has anyone heard of, or used these brakes??? Tirerack has them on their site for very reasonable prices and they look to be of good quality. they are a wierd slotted design that i guess is kinda cool, let me know what you think.

I have some on order, but I don't know when I'll have time to install them. They have TÜV approval, so they have to be of decent quality.

It looks like it says on the box that it is a wear indicator, so the question in my mind would be does work like a slotted rotor or is the grove non-functional...

It works like a slotted rotor, just not as deep.

ATE, is a very respectable company. There ATE super blue racing DOT3 fluid is on par with motul. ATE tends to draw a heavy crowd from the EURO cars (bmw,mercedes, etc)

there parts are very good

Yeah, they are sitting in storage waiting to be installed. Probably won't happen for a few months.

I use ATE Super Racing Blue, and I can't complain. They're a respectable company, so I would trust these rotors.
