I'm not having any luck finding stock replacement ATE front rotors.
ATE rear rotors are available from suppliers, Ebay etc. but for fronts all I can find are the newer Power-Slotted version.
Brembo's and others are okay but ATE is good stuff.
thx

I've had good luck with Brembo once figured out that I wasn't warping them but coating them unevenly with friction material

I haven't had rotor problems on an E12, but I've warped a variety of brands on my E28. Balo seems to have the best reputation on them. If you want cheap, Rockauto has BeckArnley front rotors for under twenty bucks right now, hard to tell who makes them as they're only a distributor.
