Brake discs Zimmermann or Detroit Axle

Detroit Axle Brake discs

On my Honda CRV I've found the best value for money for driving on Michigan salted roads are the Deteoit Axle OEM coated rotor & pad re0lacement kit, comes with inserts, grease, top up brake fluid, brake cleaner, eventually the electroplated coating on the braking surface wears off from braking & you get rust spots if they sit outside covered in the salt slush, but the hub mating surfaces & venting fins been covered in 2 Michigan winters of snow & salt & still not a spot of rust on the rotor.

Pros: good value, rust resistant
Cons: coating wears off
Vehicle: Honda

I have been driving multiple BMWs for almost 20 years and have always used Zimmermans as replacement rotors. I will keep buying them.

Pros: reliable, good quality

The online vendors offer Zimmerman/Akebono kits, I installed one on the front of my E92 and brake dust is nearly eliminated. The Akebono Ceramic pads might have slightly less bite but I'm happy with them.

Pros: reduced brake dust
Cons: slightly less bite

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
