Brake discs Brembo or Zimmermann

Zimmerman rotors and quality pads like Pagid. I personally like Zimmerman and Pagid combo, used those on my MK4 GTi

Brembo UV coated so the exposed parts don’t rust up and EBC Reds ceramic pads. Great combo.

I run them on my Tiguan and they’re working out well for the past 3 years although they’re also not a left and right set.

I put on brembo rotors and EBC yellow stuff. I followed the break in procedure and have had no issues. Stops great even from 130+

I went with Zimmerman front and rear about 1.5 years ago. No problems.

I went with the FCP euro replacement kit, the zimmerman rotors have been fine (another 35k on them), the texar pads work fine, but dust more than OEM

If you’re going to replace the front rotors, I recommend going with some coated rotors, like Brembo 09.C306.11, to prevent rusted rotors where the brake pads don’t make contact.

Brembo are OEM on most AMGs from the 63/45 lineups. The Brembo front rotors for the CLA45 aren’t terribly expensive ($400) compared to the bigger brakes on the 63s.

I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.

Ordered zimmerman f brake discs and they were not riveted tight enough. The two-piece brake disc made a clicking noise when braking at low speed.
