Brake discs Zimmermann or OEM Volkswagen

Zimmermann Brake discs

When I got my car, it would roll on hills with the parking brake pulled all the way up. After the adjustment procedure and replacing the rotors, it works properly.

Pros: works properly after replacement
Cons: rolled on hills initially
Vehicle: BMW

2008 Passat V6 4-MO front rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and brakelines are plug and play. You get a factory BBK with 345mm rotors and calipers with a slightly bigger piston....as to not screw with the MC and brake balance too much.

Pros: plug and play

I went with Zimmerman rotors and the TRW nano-compound pads as I've read they bite like metallic with maybe 2/3 as much dust.

Pros: good bite, less dust

I just bought Zimmerman for my 17 alltrack. Have bought them before. Seem to be the best value of quality to price and easily available.

Pros: best value, easily available

I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.

Pros: reliable braking
Cons: less initial bite

Brought mine into dealership, the service advisor said they manufacture these rotors out of softer material now so they don't warp down the road. The softer material downside is that they wear faster. I don't believe that at all. If they wear faster, wouldn't it be more even wear and not scored lines in there??

Pros: softer material prevents warping
Cons: wears faster, causes scoring
