Got Zimmerman’s on my 328 sport. I think I’m going on 50,000 miles on them and they’re still performing well and aren’t rusty. Zimmerman‘s rep is as one of the best aftermarket rotors

Pros: performing well, aren’t rusty
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 80467 km

I always use Zimmerman coated rotors and Hawk HPS pads on my street Audis. Pads tend to last about 100,000 miles.

Pros: pads last 100,000 miles
Vehicle: Audi
Mileage: 160934 km

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

A few thousand miles later and I started to noticed a some shaking in the steering wheel when braking in the higher speeds (60-80mph). I called a few shops in my area that were highly recommend on both here Reddit, yelp, and the forums. Most pointed to warped rotors. One shop says to have the rotors machined and another says to have the completely replaced. What are your guy’s thoughts on having them machined?

Pros: smooth braking at lower speeds
Cons: shaking steering wheel when braking at high speeds

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
