While I understand the need to be frugel, you're talking about the most important safety equipment on your car. IMO this is where you don't cheap out. I just bought a set of Zimmerman replacement rotors (fronts) and a set of PBR Deluxe pads for under $200. Like the old Fram advert said... 'you can pay me now, or pay me later'.
Zimmerman front rotors with ebc pads. Stainless braided brake lines on all four corners and ate super blue brake fluid.
Btw I'm throwing in : 4 16x7 et45 Genuine Votex wheels 4 205/55/16 Kumho HP4 716 All Season Tires (Great for Winter Setup) Votex replica sideskirts Lots of Misc parts like resurfaced Audi A8 Zimmermann rotors, Front PBR deluxe pads, etc...
i have the cd zims and they don't make noise. these are the newer small holes version.
I had crossdrilled Zimmermans on my Golf...didn't notice any noise from them..but did notice faster pad wear ....
i have this setup actually.. on my 2.0. zimmerman crossdrilled and ebc greenstuff. the concensus is that for most city and highway driving, solid rotors are best, more braking surface = better stopping. however, my setup really BITES for 10.1" rotors... i just m ainly got the crossdrilleds for looks
The OE rotors on the 993 twin-turbo were made by....(drum roll)..... Zimmermann. If that brand is good enough to stop a $100,000 supercar, my A2 should be child's play.
just got zimmermans and pbr metal masters and am very happy and for 160$ you can't go wrong
having never tried brembos i really can't say anything but that i'm happy with the zimmerman/red box combo over my old stock/metal master combo
last week I put the zimmermanns w/PBR ceramic pads.... couldn't be happier.
