    i believe TMS (turner motorsport) stocks them aswell...

    their site seems to be down currently, but i would give them a shot if you haven't bought some already because i like to think they have quite competitive pricing in the performance parts realm of BMWs. (i love powerdiscs aswell...)

      Really - ATE doesn't make em anymore?

      Gay! Hope my rotors last long enough for me to switch to 5 lug! lol

        Nope, they're gone unless you find someone with them in stock. I've started using the "Powerslot" rotors and like them for track use. Stock discs in the rear always works so not an issue there.

          My pair came from some warehouse in Socal. I'm glad I got a pair before they're all bought up. :-)

                Now I'm confused. ATE makes the powerDISC. My understanding is they never made powerSLOT's, and POWERSLOT is a separate company that makes rotors. see www.powerslot.com

                The powerdisc is the eliptical slotted rotor right? Never heard of ATE powerslot's but google brings up many people with that description in their mod list. Anyone have a link to these ATE powerSLOT's or is this just a common mis-identification?

                Wanted powerdisc's, might just get slotted brembo's instead.

                  These are 2 sep brands; Powerdiscs are ATE! and elliptical, correct. Powerslots are another brand....some people get confused.

                    Yeah, when I mentioned powerslots, I meant I changed to a new company, not that I was using another type of ATE disc.

                      NOOOOO!! I thought I had some coming but I got a call today saying they were out. Called Mesa, but they are out. Guess I'll have to find something else.

                        Go to powerslot, they're a nice alternative, but thy're a bit more expensive.

                          Any one use porterfield rotors? I ordered their street pads cause i get dealer pricing, I figured I might as well order the rotors as well and try em out.

                            AHHH. Got the pads today. I made a mistake and ordered their race compound, not their street compound. Oh well. We shall see how they work.

                              Powerslots are over 2x more expensive than stock and whether or not youll notice a performance gain is questionable. They sure do look cool though.

                              Unless you don't have money to spend elsewhere on your car, I'd suggest sticking with OEM brembos.

                                again, sounds like the ticket. Thanks.
