Brake discs Zimmermann or STOPTECH

All brake discs are now StopTech Black series one-piece, no detriment to performance vs the ATE stock two-piece, the upside is no going orange on the bells or edges like the stock discs do, pads are still PFC Z-Rated and fluid is ATE Type200, no obvious fade for fast road use.

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

I did Zimmerman crossed drilled for the front & Brembo cross drilled on the backwith Akebono pads. Absolutely love the look & performance.

Zimmermann has been my go-to, but any of the fully coated options would work fine. I would avoid the uncoated ones as they rust to shit fairly quickly.

I've used Zimmerman rotors on a track day, they held up through a couple of sessions without warping. Seems decent enough for me.

I've run Zimmerman Z coat rotors on my GTI the whole time I've owned it and they're great.

Zimmerman are a good brand, but beware, the brake dust is seriously next level with them.

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
