Brake discs Zimmermann or R1 Concepts

I use Zimmerman coated rotors are most everything in our shop and they work great.

Got a 2017 lancer and did the R1 concepts. Good results after only the first two weeks. Mind you! I had two seized calipers in the back and had to replace those as well. What is stated about drilled rotors is true about the cracking if you’re using them aggressively, I bought these specific ones because I read they have the better rating out of most and since I’m using them in the winter I’m not concerned with them getting too hot to crack (please correct me if my logic is not correct) but I assumed that since the vehicle was primarily being used for cold weather it would be best to go with a more reputable brand for safe stopping power.

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

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.

Get OEM pads and zimmerman brake rotors, best bang for the buck

Zimmerman for rotors, those are OE and akebono or textar for pads, I would go with an original sensor though since some of the aftermarket ones have had issues for longevity. Also buy them from FCPeuro

Got the R1 concepts for the rotors and pads. Impressed by the braking power

I have R1 Concept rotors with the Powerstop Z26. Great combo.

Zimmermann Rotors / IS2000 Pads

Zimmermann discs + Textar OEM pads

• After ~2 weeks → felt a clicking/grip when braking no squeak

• Recently brought it back again → they cleaned discs/pads applied lube and even replaced the pads

• Now 2 days later → clicking/grip is back + a new squeak at low speed in parking
