Brake discs Zimmermann or Bosch

Bosch Brake discs

When it comes to rotors and pads, Bosch Quiet Cast are much better than anything else I've tried in 25 years of XJ ownership.

I think it comes down to the composition of rotor itself, the resilience of the coating and probably manufacturing process, they seem to last and perform a lot better than even the other premium coated rotors I've tried over the years. Similar to OEM German car rotors, they still look like new even after multiple Canadian winters.

Pros: much better, long lasting

Bosch Brake discs

I think I did some deep dive research and settled on Bosch quiet cast with Akebono pads. I think I’ve also used eccentric in the past. No complaints with any of the above.

Pros: no complaints

Zimmermann Brake discs

Zimmerman coated rotors + OEM pads

Notably less rust on rotor edges and maintains the great initial bite of the OEM.

Pros: less rust, good bite
Cons: terrible brake dust

Zimmermann discs are great, pads are up to your driving style. Just a note, if you choose any of the EBC pads on FCP go with the yellowstuff. I've had redstuff and they did not hold up well on spirited runs.

Pros: Zimmermann discs are great
Cons: redstuff pads did not hold up well

Zimmermann Brake discs

I put cheap rotors in the front. They suck and made braking unpredictable and dangerous, especially from 150kmh plus. I bought Zimmermanns a week later and the problem completely vanished.

Cons: unpredictable braking, dangerous
Vehicle: BMW
