Brake discs Brembo or Zimmermann

Zimmerman makes great rotors.

I got a set of G63 Brembo rotors at Autozone for 10% of dealer list.

Had the same dilemma a few weeks back. Went with Zimmermann drilled rotors paired with EBC red. So far I've been pleased with them.

Brakes are doing great.

GTI rebuilt front caliper conversion with drilled Brembo rotors and pad

I just recently did the back brakes at 37k and the fronts last weekend at 39k on my 2020 M340i. Dealer said rotors were at min thickness last June but I waited for the sensors to actually trip and even then I got 1k+ miles with a good bit of pad life left still. Went with Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads from FCP Euro and second that combo. I read too many hit or miss stories about non-OEM pads, I don’t track my car, and brake dust aside like OEM brake feel.

Yes. Replace the rotors with each service. I run Zimmerman rotors and either BMW or TRW pads.

I'm using Zimmerman rotors and Textar pads. 11k miles and no complaints so far.

on my SELP with 18K miles, the rear rotors were pulsating and shuddering at high speeds and I know exactly what caused it, coming over a mountain pass, but NOT riding the brakes. Anyway, the disc surafces looked ok but 2/3 of the pads had gone. Changed out with Pagid pads and Brembo rotors - we\u2019ll see how that goes. BTW removing the caliper is a PITA the triplle hex bolts were are very very tight. On my SE with 38k miles front pads were down to last remaining 1mm\u2026. Yeah I should have checked them a while back. Both front rotors on both cars are heavily grooved, but no signs of deposits. Put Pagid pads in the fronts. On the SE I have just ordered Brembo cross drilled rotors for the rear. I thought I would just share this info and given more evidence of how these Arteon\u2019s eat pads and rotors wear wise and are easy to distort.

Doesn't out perform the German stuff. Zimmerman rotors and Ferrodo, hawk, or EBC pads.
