Brake discs ATE or Zimmermann

Had German ATE disks - no dust whatever.

I always use Zimmerman coated rotors and Hawk HPS pads on my street Audis. Pads tend to last about 100,000 miles.

I have 65K on my Zimmermann rotors and Brembo pads. Fronts are 6mm, rear are 7mm. I’m expecting at least 30K more before I change anything.

hatte auf meinem Golf 4 (Variant, 1.9 pd mit 74kw) nur ATE Powerdisk, um den Verschleiß zu sehen, mit vorrausschauender Fahrweise haben die Scheiben immer über 140tkm gehalten, Beläge um die 70tkm. weiterer Vorteil ist die weiße Beschichtung (nicht abputzen!) am Anfang vorsichtig Bremsen, er kann auf den ersten Fahrten auch qualmen. die verhindert aber auch Rost innen der Bremsscheiben für einen großteil der Zeit.

I went with ATE "Powerdisc" discs and ceramic pads on my e39 530d, they're beautiful brakes.

I got Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads because I've used them on my Camaro before and was quite pleased with them. They are a great street pad.Massive reduction in brake dust, braking performance feels similar if not better than stock UNTIL they get some heat in them. Once they get hot, there is a huge increase in stopping power. This is not like a racing pad where it's shit until it gets hot, it goes from good to fantastic.However, high temp fluid is an absolute MUST.

Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads. Less brake dust, and no squeaking

Zimmerman rotors are top notch.

Zimmerman are a good brand, but beware, the brake dust is seriously next level with them.

I purchased a 99 M3 recently and the car came with Zimmerman “Sport” drilled rotors and Jurid brake pads and I have to say that they are a terrible combo. They squeak a lot and they maybe have less than 10k miles on them.
