I had Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads on my mk6 and they were great, so much less brake dust and stopped no problem.
Pros: less brake dust, good stopping

I use Zimmerman front and rear with no problems
Pros: no problems
Zimmerman makes solid rotors and Akebono pads are awesome, plus they last forever. I think the only thing you could improve on is a bit of extra stopping power if you went back to the oem pad material, which is likely not ceramic like the Akebonos. However, you'll lose those clean wheels and the pads will likely wear out much faster. I never felt that they lacked adequate stopping power anyway. Brake feel is much more linear compared to the super grabby stock pads, and I actually prefer it now that I'm used to it.
Pros: solid rotors
I have used Zimmerman rotors on multiple cars and have been very happy with them. They take lots of abuse and corrosion in minimal
Pros: happy with them, durable

I switched over to Zimmerman x-drilled, SS lines, Mintex Red Boxes and bled the system with DOT 4 fluid. The same corse I never noticed any fade but I also did not notice any BETTER braking performance either.
Pros: no fade
Cons: no better performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Tbh drilled Zimmermann Discs are imho Junk. They use OEM Discs. Had so many Problems with Vibrations, warped Discs and so on.
Cons: vibrations, warped discs
