Brake discs Zimmermann or GiroDisc

Zimmermann Brake discs

E36 non M3 brakes up front is probably your easiest and cheapest way to go, dirt cheap and readily available everywhere, the 286mm rotors and calipers leave just enough room for 15inch wheels and they are provide plenty of power and heat disappation for a street E30.

Pros: cheap and readily available
Vehicle: BMW

Zimmermann Brake discs

Zimmerman rotors are a good replacement for oem. Get your choice of pads. I like oem style so something like Textar or Pagid are good choices.

Pros: good replacement for oem
Vehicle: Audi S4

  • Braking:
Rating 4.0

I did mine pretty early solely because the OEM rotors were wearing like a vinyl record. Both the pads and rotors still had plenty of material—it was just a bad wear pattern. I went to Girodisc pads and rotors and have had them on happily ever since.

Pros: happy with Girodisc
Cons: bad wear pattern

  • Vibration:
Rating 2.0

My front brake discs keep getting warped after 500-1000km. Same issue with 3 sets of new, quality (Zimmermann) discs. The vibration that returns after said 500-1000km is always exactly the same.

Cons: discs warp quickly
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 1000 km
