front brakes are solid, i had trouble finding break disc locally for 4x100, and calipers you can buy rebuild kits or whole new ones.

Pros: solid front brakes
Cons: hard to find disc

Zimmermann Brake discs

Got quoted 3k CAD for pads/rotors, bought Zimmerman drilled and brembo ceramics for 1500 and did them myself. Took 4 hrs taking my time, very simple job if you have the means to do it yourself

Pros: simple job
Vehicle: Audi S5

I swapped out some very sad stock rotors for slotted ones and I DID notice a difference but only because I'd done the pads as well and well.... fresh brakes!

Pros: noticed a difference
Vehicle: Toyota

Zimmermann Brake discs

Personally, I like to use ceramic brake pads wherever possible from a quality manufacturer. They produce less brake dust, seem to last longer, and are very quiet. I put ceramics on all my cars. I also like Zimmerman rotors. They're actually more expensive than the OE/OEM rotors, but I like the quality and think they're worth the price.

Pros: less brake dust, last longer
Cons: more expensive

Got a new brake set Zimmermann on my S5 and immediately got this look - the anti rust coating around the front rotor edges don’t want to come off. The rear ones are fine and have even wear. 1,5k miles later it’s still digging my eyes.

Pros: rear rotors fine
Cons: coating won't come off, front rotor edges issue
Vehicle: Audi S5
Mileage: 2414 km
