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.
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
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.
Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads pair up nicely, all from FCP euro
Follow up after my track day: The Girodiscs + Pagids were amazing. Tons of bite, and zero fade, plus plenty of pedal feel after two days of running hard at VIR.
I have had great success with Girodisc rotors this summer. I have been using Ferodo DS2500 pads for a few years and love them, but rotor temperatures would hit 800+ degrees after track sessions and conventional rotors, like Stop Tech, developed surface cracking and maybe a bit of warp. Girodisc rotor temps have been around 550 degrees after sessions this summer.
I put about 4k miles on the Zimmerman front rotors + Hawks HPS 5.0 so far. There is still a little squealing coming from the setup. Very small. Pretty sure the pads are the reason. Not the rotors. Lots of people are using thre Zimm rotors here in Quebec Canada. And noise isssue isn't something that comes in the reviews.
Zimmerman rotors, will not warp or crack like inferior chinese metals.
I am about to get pads and rotors done all around at 110,000km. Textar pads and Zimmerman rotors
