Brake discs Brembo or Zimmermann

It is complete. I got the MKVII GOLF R calipers and rotors now on a 2012 Beetle Turbo. Calipers/carriers/pads/rotors for a MKVII PP Package fit fine. Much better bite and brake performance over stock. smooth nice braking. no sounds. pads now bedded in. using factory pads and zimmerman rotors

I have their drilled discs on my TR6. My dream was Ceriani, forks with disc brakes, I still have a new brembo caliper. They are and were a status item.

Also fixed the driver's door switch, replaced the front brake rotors with some Zimmerman drilled ones and new pads all arround. Car feels so much better.

Akebono ceramics and Zimmerman rotors on countless brake jobs. Never a complaint about feeling different then OEM and folks like the reduction in dust. From hard drivers to grocery getters, never a problem and no comebacks.

For daily use, check the e36 Zimmermann/Akebono kit from FCP euro, lifetime warranty on them (I replaced mine with no hassle for the cost of shipping). They don't bite as nice as the OEM pads... But they also don't dust over your wheels going to the grocery store...

I also have a '95 325i and recently installed the front and rear "OEM Plus Brake Kit" from Bimmerworld which came with a full set of Zimmerman zinc coated rotors, StopTech "street" pads, new rotor retaining screws, caliper bolt covers, and a set of pad sensors. Last weekend I went for a short drive in the mountains and was very impressed with the overall performance and feel from the new setup. Also so far I've noticed less dust vs the unknown pads that were installed by the previous owner.

For daily use, go for brembo blanks on your rotors. Oem pads are great for that initial bite but HORRIBLE on dust. I would go for akebono ceramic pads. They need a little more time to be warmed up but they’re great imo. Hardly any dust, super quiet, and they do just fine on my occasional canyon runs.

I like hawk ceramics and zimmerman z coat rotors.

I got brembo rotors and some other german pads, not really sure what they are, squeeky as of the 4 days so far, we'll see it it gets better.

I now have the same problem and know exactly how it happened, came over a long downhil mountain pass (NOT riding the brakes by the way) and later went to brake shudder/vibration from the rear. I have two new rear Brembo rotors and Pagid pads for a fun job on a car thats only done 18K miles. I think its the rear brake design is flawed from this standpoint
