Zimmerman makes solid rotors and Akebono pads are awesome, plus they last forever. I think the only thing you could improve on is a bit of extra stopping power if you went back to the oem pad material, which is likely not ceramic like the Akebonos. However, you'll lose those clean wheels and the pads will likely wear out much faster. I never felt that they lacked adequate stopping power anyway. Brake feel is much more linear compared to the super grabby stock pads, and I actually prefer it now that I'm used to it.

Pros: solid rotors

EBC Brake discs

If money is not an issue, get EBC slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads. Amazing combo and will be getting the same when I need brakes.

I have the same setup except with red stuff on my supercharged jag and have 70k miles on the rotors and pads and still look like the day I bought em. I drove that car like I stole it all the time and it has been through pretty rough winters here in central KY.

Pros: amazing combo, long lasting
Mileage: 70000 km

Rating 5.0

I changed my rear brakes around 40,000km due to excessive rust perforation on the rear brake rotors and I opted for EBC slotted and drilled rotors paired with Green Stuff Series 2000 pads. They were phenomenal until 103k when I sold the car. A bit dusty but worked fantastic.

Pros: worked fantastic, phenomenal
Cons: a bit dusty
Mileage: 103000 km

Zimmermann Brake discs

I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.

Pros: reliable braking
Cons: less initial bite
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 3000 km
