ATE rotors / Jurid Pads

[Paulpt]

Anyone has experience with ATE rotors?

After a year of my last replacement (Brembo rotors / Axxis Pads), the rotors are warped. Sucks because they still (both rotors and pads) have plenty of life on them.

Pads break in was done by the book, the rotors have intense glazing marks on them (not sure if this is the right use of terms).

My mechanic (experienced guy) suggested to go with ATE and change pads to OE compound, he suggested Textar, Pagid or Jurid (actually I think they are all the same manufacturer).

His opinion is that the pads may have been way to hard on the rotors, creating very high temp. Also (this I find out), is that Brembo are excellent but they are some made in Italy, some in Mexico and some somewhere else. Some of this may be using a cheaper metal compound made in China. Not 100% sure if this is true or not. I think the Axxis (deluxe) may have been way too hard on the rotors. Anyway, it sucks, another 400 bucks just a year later.

Anyone has any experience with these two components?

Thanks
