Ordered zimmerman f brake discs and they were not riveted tight enough. The two-piece brake disc made a clicking noise when braking at low speed.
Cons: clicking noise, loose rivets

I went with Zimmerman rotors and oem pads on my M340i. Perfectly happy with the cost savings over the oem rotors.
Pros: cost savings, good quality
Vehicle:
BMW
You mention cost but not weight differential of the rotors, many people move to girodisks because it reduces the weight at each corner. With regards to blanks vs drilled, I have had no issues running drilled (Zimmerman) on my previous Audi TTs and my current 718. I run a dedicated set for track with Carbotech XP12s, no fade, no issues. 718 is in roughly the same weight category, 3k ish.
Pros: no fade, no issues

I had my V60t6 2020 done for 800$ with Zimmerman rotors and Hawk pads (high performance). The job was done by 2 technicians within 1h.
Pros: fast service, high performance
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Solid, Zinc coated Zimmermann with Red Stuff pads. I'm stage 1 and push my car a bit occasionally and have never had any issues stopping when I want to.
Pros: reliable stopping power
I replaced my previous rotors with Zimmerman ones and they also had this notch so don’t worry about it as it’s normal.
Pros: normal notch, no issues

I used Zimmerman rotors and ATE ceramic pads all purchased from fcpeuro.com. With stock pads I could wash the car and within two days they would be brown from brake dust. Now I can go weeks before I start to notice that there may be a little dust.
With the ceramic pads I cannot tell a difference in braking, I have almost no brake dust, and the rotors still look like new.
Pros: less brake dust, rotors look new
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I used both before Zimmerman is good and cheap. Akebento are good too but hard to find and more expense. I practically used all brake pads and rotors over the 13 years I own the RRS. I would recommend using cermpads.
Pros: good and cheap
Cons: hard to find, expensive

Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Rotors are not drilled or slotted. The car stops on a dime and just saved me on the highway yesterday. This was the first modification I did and I'm glad I did it.
Pros: car stops on a dime
Zimmerman makes great rotors.
Pros: great rotors
