I use Zimmerman front and rear with no problems
Zimmerman makes solid rotors and Akebono pads are awesome, plus they last forever. I think the only thing you could improve on is a bit of extra stopping power if you went back to the oem pad material, which is likely not ceramic like the Akebonos. However, you'll lose those clean wheels and the pads will likely wear out much faster. I never felt that they lacked adequate stopping power anyway. Brake feel is much more linear compared to the super grabby stock pads, and I actually prefer it now that I'm used to it.
I got EBC rotors and orange pads. Much better than stock IMO.
If money is not an issue, get EBC slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads. Amazing combo and will be getting the same when I need brakes.
I have the same setup except with red stuff on my supercharged jag and have 70k miles on the rotors and pads and still look like the day I bought em. I drove that car like I stole it all the time and it has been through pretty rough winters here in central KY.
I have used Zimmerman rotors on multiple cars and have been very happy with them. They take lots of abuse and corrosion in minimal
I changed my rear brakes around 40,000km due to excessive rust perforation on the rear brake rotors and I opted for EBC slotted and drilled rotors paired with Green Stuff Series 2000 pads. They were phenomenal until 103k when I sold the car. A bit dusty but worked fantastic.
Zimmerman rotors and quality pads like Pagid. I personally like Zimmerman and Pagid combo, used those on my MK4 GTi
I run them on my Tiguan and they’re working out well for the past 3 years although they’re also not a left and right set.
I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.
Zimmerman and Carbotech, EBC do not hold up.
