Brake discs Zimmermann or Centric

Have them on my Tiguan with Zimmerman rotors, not a peep so far, excellent grip too.

I went with Zimmerman Rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads from NGP. Not slotted or drilled, just a quality German made rotor. The material quality difference is evident. My only complaint is the Red Stuff pads do make more brake dust, but its a pretty minor grievance. The rotors were also coated to prevent unsightly rusting.

As stated, Zimmerman's are a great rotor. They're a popular application on Porsche.

Zimmerman's are good rotors. Had them for ~45K on the front of a B5.5.

I have Zimmerman's installed in the rear. They are the coat z rotors that insure the hubs don't rust. They are very good in combination with Akebono pads.

I just changed the front pads/rotors on my '04 325i to Zimmerman with the OEM Textar pads. Seem to work same as before, no complaints from me. They are dusty like people say, but I don't care too much about that.

Some of the best cost effect rotors on the market are Centric Premium rotors, they make most of the OEM rotors in the auto market (even Brembo too) but you won't pay for the brand name on them.

I just bought new brake discs for all four corners. They are made by Zimmermann, a pretty reputable aftermarket supplier. Cost was about half of the OEM.

While I understand the need to be frugel, you're talking about the most important safety equipment on your car. IMO this is where you don't cheap out. I just bought a set of Zimmerman replacement rotors (fronts) and a set of PBR Deluxe pads for under $200. Like the old Fram advert said... 'you can pay me now, or pay me later'.

Zimmerman front rotors with ebc pads. Stainless braided brake lines on all four corners and ate super blue brake fluid.
