Brake discs Zimmermann or EBC

its pretty normal for our engines, that's one of the reasons why we change our oil every 3-4k miles. if it ever becomes much more than usual, you could be looking at a leaky seal in your HPFP or the like.

Re: (rhouse181) Quote, originally posted by rhouse181 \u00bb that bearing shattered... it didn't wear due to poor or inadequate lubrication. looks more like manufacturing defect, the outer layer on the bearing shell delaminated and rolled around for awhile. sorry to say this, but that crank is toast... i would start searching for a good used one out of a wrecked motor. this.

I've had EBC dimpled/slotted rotors with red stuff pads and they work pretty well. They are kinda noisy during braking but aside from that I haven't had any issues. The red pads are amazingly low on brake dust too

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

The OE rotors on the 993 twin-turbo were made by....(drum roll)..... Zimmermann. If that brand is good enough to stop a $100,000 supercar, my A2 should be child's play.

just got zimmermans and pbr metal masters and am very happy and for 160$ you can't go wrong

having never tried brembos i really can't say anything but that i'm happy with the zimmerman/red box combo over my old stock/metal master combo

last week I put the zimmermanns w/PBR ceramic pads.... couldn't be happier.
