I installed some new brakes and after looking at all the options I went with FCP’s bundle of Zimmerman drilled rotors and EBC red pads. I’m normally not a fan of drilled as my first set of drilled rotors back in 1996 warped and since then I’ve gone with just slotted. Since the mass is so great on the 345mm rotors I felt there would be enough mass to stay true/straight. FCP’s lifetime warranty helped seal the deal on these brakes.
I have been using ATE pads and zimmerman coated rotors. last time they were replaced i bedded them in with a few hard stops from 60mph.
Get thicker ones (5.5mm). I also warped my stock ones and got Brembo supersports instead, I feel like they withstand whatever I throw at them.
I'm running their sport pads with Zimmerman cross drilled rotors. The Zimmerman rotors are significantly cheaper for the same consumable. Very happy with my setup and I would repeat it in the future
My OEM Calipers are still looking good at 200k. I just put OEM pads and Brembo Rotors for less than 200 bucks. Next time I will be doing the 199 Caliper and Rotor Upgrade.
Just the Brembo rotors.
BNT are good for brake stuff - they normally have two options, their cheaper brand and brembo. Did rotors and pads front and rear on an Audi A3 for $650 for brembo rotors and Bendix pads as an indication.
I've used Zimmerman + ATE combos on my ... for daily use. They are totally fine. Good stuff. Couple weeks ago I wanted to try something different on the R so I got stoptech slotted and EBC red. They feel good so far. Hopefully low dust.
I know my Brembos cracked like a Mofo. They are still kicking ass and unwarped though
Tbh drilled Zimmermann Discs are imho Junk. They use OEM Discs. Had so many Problems with Vibrations, warped Discs and so on.
