I got Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads because I've used them on my Camaro before and was quite pleased with them. They are a great street pad.Massive reduction in brake dust, braking performance feels similar if not better than stock UNTIL they get some heat in them. Once they get hot, there is a huge increase in stopping power. This is not like a racing pad where it's shit until it gets hot, it goes from good to fantastic.However, high temp fluid is an absolute MUST.

Pros: reduced dust, increased stopping power
Cons: requires high temp fluid
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I use Zimmerman rotors on my XC60 and her BMW. Excellent bang for buck in my opinion. Don’t like brembo pads for the dust, use Akebono on BMW, Alebono or Volvo pads on Volvo for dust control.

Pros: excellent bang for buck, good dust control
Cons: Brembo pads dusty
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

I keep hearing my brakes squeal when I drive and it's really bothering, so I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it or if it's something I have to deal with. I bought a Zimmermann kit with Textar semi metallic pads. My buddy thinks I should've removed the Coat Z anticorrosive off the rotors before installing but it says on their website it's made to be installed with it on. The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't lube the moving surfaces enough or I need to do a better job bedding them in.

Cons: brakes squeal
