Brake discs Zimmermann or TRW

+1 for Zimmerman rotors. They are great and resist against rust better than the oem discs. I’m currently on HPS5.0 and Zimmerman at front. Braking power is great. No dust almost.

I just installed Zimmerman rotors with the stoptech pads upfront and ate ceramic pads for the rear. Performance has been excellent for a street driven car. Noticeably better than the stock pads.

I'm going to need front brakes soon. Last time I got brakes I ordered one of their Zimmerman/Akebono kits that covered all four corners, rotors and pads. I only need front pads and rotors, so I was going to order the same kit, just for the front, and then send in my old pads and rotors off the front.

Go with good solid OE quality coated rotors, and a low dust pad like Zimmerman and Akebono, Brembo, etc. You'll probably never push the limits of the stock brakes if youre not tracking the car.

Just wanted to give a heads up for anyone who is interested in swapping your stock front 2012+ Beetle Turbo Brakes with MK7 GTI PP / S3 / R / Clubsport brakes/rotors/pads. The upgrade went well and was worth it, even looks so much better with the larger caliper and rotor.

It is complete. I got the MKVII GOLF R calipers and rotors now on a 2012 Beetle Turbo. Calipers/carriers/pads/rotors for a MKVII PP Package fit fine. Much better bite and brake performance over stock. smooth nice braking. no sounds. pads now bedded in. using factory pads and zimmerman rotors

Also fixed the driver's door switch, replaced the front brake rotors with some Zimmerman drilled ones and new pads all arround. Car feels so much better.

Akebono ceramics and Zimmerman rotors on countless brake jobs. Never a complaint about feeling different then OEM and folks like the reduction in dust. From hard drivers to grocery getters, never a problem and no comebacks.

For daily use, check the e36 Zimmermann/Akebono kit from FCP euro, lifetime warranty on them (I replaced mine with no hassle for the cost of shipping). They don't bite as nice as the OEM pads... But they also don't dust over your wheels going to the grocery store...

I have those Zimmermann rotors for my car, and they DO judder. Granted the pads are not OEM...a low dust StopTech option. I've just accepted this...it's a winter car now.
