I always use Zimmerman coated rotors and Hawk HPS pads on my street Audis. Pads tend to last about 100,000 miles.
I have 65K on my Zimmermann rotors and Brembo pads. Fronts are 6mm, rear are 7mm. I’m expecting at least 30K more before I change anything.
I got Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads because I've used them on my Camaro before and was quite pleased with them. They are a great street pad.Massive reduction in brake dust, braking performance feels similar if not better than stock UNTIL they get some heat in them. Once they get hot, there is a huge increase in stopping power. This is not like a racing pad where it's shit until it gets hot, it goes from good to fantastic.However, high temp fluid is an absolute MUST.
Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads. Less brake dust, and no squeaking
Zimmerman rotors are top notch.
I use Zimmerman rotors on my XC60 and her BMW. Excellent bang for buck in my opinion. Don’t like brembo pads for the dust, use Akebono on BMW, Alebono or Volvo pads on Volvo for dust control.
Zimmermann from FCP Euro hav been great on my N55 F10.
check out the Zimmermann set from FCP. Much smoother, and almost no brake dust. And I believe they cover a full replacement under their warranty program.
I've got Zimmerman rotors on the front and haven't noticed any difference from stock.
I keep hearing my brakes squeal when I drive and it's really bothering, so I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it or if it's something I have to deal with. I bought a Zimmermann kit with Textar semi metallic pads. My buddy thinks I should've removed the Coat Z anticorrosive off the rotors before installing but it says on their website it's made to be installed with it on. The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't lube the moving surfaces enough or I need to do a better job bedding them in.
