Brake discs Zimmermann or Raybestos

Raybestos Brake discs

For rotors, you’re lighting money on fire if you get anything other than a set of non coated blanks. You aren’t going fast enough, or running long enough sessions to get them so hot that you need drilled and slotted in an attempt to drop every degree you can off the heat sinks, especially if you aren’t pushing for the full session. A quick browse on RockAuto shows that the cheapest drilled and slotted is just under x3 the price of a Raybestos blank. You can warp a set every weekend and still be way ahead (I promise you won’t warp a set every weekend unless you’re abusing the brakes).

Pros: cost-effective, durable for normal use

Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are excellent. They are high-carbon and better able to manage heat and resist warping and cracking than ordinary grey iron rotors.

Pros: high-carbon, manage heat, resist warping

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 like the Raybestos E3 coated rotors but I'm in the rust belt. Stops the hat and edges+vanes from rusting for a couple years. The E3 pads use to be good but they changed the formula and moved from China to India and the last couple sets have squeeled during braking when hot or in reverse so I would personally recommend Advics or Akebono ceramic.

Pros: rust prevention
Cons: squealing brakes

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
