Brake discs Zimmermann or DBA

Zimmermann Brake discs

Got quoted 3k CAD for pads/rotors, bought Zimmerman drilled and brembo ceramics for 1500 and did them myself. Took 4 hrs taking my time, very simple job if you have the means to do it yourself

Pros: simple job
Vehicle: Audi S5

Zimmermann Brake discs

Personally, I like to use ceramic brake pads wherever possible from a quality manufacturer. They produce less brake dust, seem to last longer, and are very quiet. I put ceramics on all my cars. I also like Zimmerman rotors. They're actually more expensive than the OE/OEM rotors, but I like the quality and think they're worth the price.

Pros: less brake dust, last longer
Cons: more expensive

Zimmerman for rotors, those are OE and akebono or textar for pads, I would go with an original sensor though since some of the aftermarket ones have had issues for longevity. Also buy them from FCPeuro

Pros: OE quality rotors
Cons: aftermarket sensor issues

DBA Brake discs

I'm running DBA T3 Rotors with Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior Pads. I love the DBA rotors and had them on my previous Genesis Coupe. The Rotors aren't cheap with but worth it IMO.

Pros: worth it
Cons: rotors aren't cheap

I went with DBA street series with hawk pads. No complaints after 2 yrs of daily. Street Series feels more OEM+.

Pros: feels more OEM+, no complaints

• Recently brought it back again → they cleaned discs/pads applied lube and even replaced the pads

• Now 2 days later → clicking/grip is back + a new squeak at low speed in parking

Cons: clicking/grip when braking, new squeak
