Yes. Replace the rotors with each service. I run Zimmerman rotors and either BMW or TRW pads.
I'm using Zimmerman rotors and Textar pads. 11k miles and no complaints so far.
Can’t go wrong with Zimmerman blanks and OEM pads.
Running Zimmerman rotors with Porterfield R4S pads on mine. Brake dust is considerably less than the stock set up.
I just replaced all 4 rotors and pads last weekend. Found a good deal on Zimmerman rotors and TRW pads. My little diesel wagon is happy now. :)
i have zimmermann rotors on the rear and they look like new after one year and no rust unlike others in bought before and since then. Will buy them again. Zimmermann is good quality.
I’ve used Zimmerman for years, including beating them to crap at the track. Never any issues.
I replaced my OEM BMW blank rotors that were done and warped for the blank Zimmermann ones a week ago, but I got them from FCP euro which they had them at a lower price. I have a slow grocery getter 328i so no need to get anything more. I also used Akebono ceramic brake pads.
I have the zimmermans, and I've heard numerous people tell me they've seen and heard of them cracking under heavy heated use. It kinda worries me a little, but they've been solid so far, and I've yet to really roast them... Honnestly if I were to do it again, I would probably go with the brembos even though they may be a little more expensive. whats more important to stopping, is pads. The difference between the stopping power and feel of different pads varries greatly. I've had some heavy carbon kevlar pads that took a long while to warm up but once they were warm grabbed really well, but they were kinda hard for regular street driving. I've used stock pads which pretty much suck but last forever, and I've used some softer sport street pads that wear and dust a little more, but stop far supperior to oters for regular street driving. I've yet to push them to the point of fade, but we'll see where that goes once I've got the suspension and bleeding sorted
Tbh drilled Zimmermann Discs are imho Junk. They use OEM Discs. Had so many Problems with Vibrations, warped Discs and so on.
