Brake discs Zimmermann or TRW

Zimmermann Brake discs

I also have a '95 325i and recently installed the front and rear "OEM Plus Brake Kit" from Bimmerworld which came with a full set of Zimmerman zinc coated rotors, StopTech "street" pads, new rotor retaining screws, caliper bolt covers, and a set of pad sensors. Last weekend I went for a short drive in the mountains and was very impressed with the overall performance and feel from the new setup. Also so far I've noticed less dust vs the unknown pads that were installed by the previous owner.

Pros: good performance, less dust
Vehicle: BMW

I use Zimmerman sport rotors and Hawk HPS pads. They bite extremely well in street/spirited applications and aren't super messy. Good repeatable stopping power.

Pros: good bite, clean, repeatable stopping power

I ordered Zimmermann 100336770 from Eeuroparts because they looked totally different from the factory disks and seem to have good reviews. I am happy to say they have completely cured my brake judder and the car is a pleasure to drive.

Pros: cured brake judder, pleasure to drive
Vehicle: Audi
Part number: 100336770

I can tell you that Zimmermann are German made high quality rotors and make a very good deal for the price/performance. Those should be about 140 Euros max for 2 front coated discs. Throw in some reasonable pads (TRW, Brembo or ATE) and you can get away with below 200 Euros per axis and as you say you can diy. then it should not be a problem. What I know is that many rotors are nowdays made in China and are rebranded, while to keep in mind is that just a very few rotor brands are really cast, majority being machined and drilled. I have the first hand experience with Zimmermanns and I am really happy about those. If you want an "original" Saab - they will sell you Hella-Pagid disks that are also very good, but a way overpriced for what they are. I seem to remember the price of 400+ Euros for one disk, 2 years ago whenI was shopping around.

Pros: good price/performance, high quality
Cons: overpriced original parts

I think the ones I just fitted on the front are TRW, they were significantly cheaper than the genuine parts I've previously bought, but the performance is at least as good, with less brake dust. There's a big difference between quality and cheap parts when it comes to brakes, cheaper rotors will be much more likely to warp.

Pros: performance as good, less brake dust
Cons: cheaper rotors warp easily
