Brake discs Zimmermann or DBA

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.

I'm putting [DBA T3 4000](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SJ7ERU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) rotors on my WRX (with Ferodo DS2500 pads) next week. Those rotors are rated for racing temps and aren't crazy expensive.

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.

Btw I'm throwing in : 4 16x7 et45 Genuine Votex wheels 4 205/55/16 Kumho HP4 716 All Season Tires (Great for Winter Setup) Votex replica sideskirts Lots of Misc parts like resurfaced Audi A8 Zimmermann rotors, Front PBR deluxe pads, etc...

i have the cd zims and they don't make noise. these are the newer small holes version.

I had crossdrilled Zimmermans on my Golf...didn't notice any noise from them..but did notice faster pad wear ....

i have this setup actually.. on my 2.0. zimmerman crossdrilled and ebc greenstuff. the concensus is that for most city and highway driving, solid rotors are best, more braking surface = better stopping. however, my setup really BITES for 10.1" rotors... i just m ainly got the crossdrilleds for looks
