Brake discs Zimmermann or Centric

Centric Brake discs

I used Centric Premium rotors on my last Jeep XJ which is notorious for marginal brakes and they were good. I did bed them in per instructions, they got smoky, stinky hot.

Pros: good performance
Vehicle: Jeep

Got Zimmerman’s on my 328 sport. I think I’m going on 50,000 miles on them and they’re still performing well and aren’t rusty. Zimmerman‘s rep is as one of the best aftermarket rotors

Pros: performing well, aren’t rusty

Mileage: 80467 km

I had the Centric rotors for both the front and rears. I'm replacing the rears Cemtrics next week which have 48k km on them with Raybestos Element 3s because they are highly recommended here and I wanted to try something different. I have a feeling my rear centric rotors have been ruined by the akebono pads which I think have gone down to the metal and are creating a groove in the rotor. Sad that this is all happening at only 48k km.

Cons: ruined by pads, groove in rotor
Mileage: 48000 km

Zimmermann Brake discs

I keep hearing my brakes squeal when I drive and it's really bothering, so I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it or if it's something I have to deal with. I bought a Zimmermann kit with Textar semi metallic pads. My buddy thinks I should've removed the Coat Z anticorrosive off the rotors before installing but it says on their website it's made to be installed with it on. The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't lube the moving surfaces enough or I need to do a better job bedding them in.

Cons: brakes squeal
