Subject:      Brake pads: PBR Deluxe Plus or ATE "old German stock"?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Hi all.


Getting closer to having my front end/brakes together. So....


In reading up on front brake pads in the archives, PBR or VW
dealership pads are two of my top choices so far.


Though different than the PBR (Metal Master?) pads discussed in the
archives, my vendor has:


PBR Deluxe Plus Organic and ATE  "old German stock.... with an
Asbestos warning" (vendor quote). He mentioned the ATE pads were not
expensive.


Anyone used these PBR pads? If so, whaddaya think of them?


Could the ATE  "old German stock" be the same as what VW dealerships
used to sell? I know to look for an Audi stamp. If they had this,
would this mean they're the same?


Comments much appreciated!


Neil.
