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 have used Zimmerman rotors on multiple cars and have been very happy with them. They take lots of abuse and corrosion in minimal
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 went with Zimmerman front and rear about 1.5 years ago. No problems.
I went with the FCP euro replacement kit, the zimmerman rotors have been fine (another 35k on them), the texar pads work fine, but dust more than OEM
I already have installed front 345mm rotors and calipers/carriers/shields/lines) from a 2008 R32/Passat V6 4-MO. So that works.
Stock OEM rotors (Zimmerman) are also fine. I track my car and run stock rotors. They work great.
Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.
Our rear rotors are garbage. The front seem fine but i can see rust marks for where my pads rest when i park it for the weekend. Im researching our incredibly limited options on rear rotors at the moment.
