Get OEM pads and zimmerman brake rotors, best bang for the buck
Zimmerman for rotors, those are OE and akebono or textar for pads, I would go with an original sensor though since some of the aftermarket ones have had issues for longevity. Also buy them from FCPeuro
I did Zimmerman crossed drilled for the front & Brembo cross drilled on the backwith Akebono pads. Absolutely love the look & performance.
Zimmermann has been my go-to, but any of the fully coated options would work fine. I would avoid the uncoated ones as they rust to shit fairly quickly.
I've used Zimmerman rotors on a track day, they held up through a couple of sessions without warping. Seems decent enough for me.
I've run Zimmerman Z coat rotors on my GTI the whole time I've owned it and they're great.
I've got Zimmerman rotors on the front and haven't noticed any difference from stock.
Zimmermann discs are great, pads are up to your driving style. Just a note, if you choose any of the EBC pads on FCP go with the yellowstuff. I've had redstuff and they did not hold up well on spirited runs.
I purchased a 99 M3 recently and the car came with Zimmerman “Sport” drilled rotors and Jurid brake pads and I have to say that they are a terrible combo. They squeak a lot and they maybe have less than 10k miles on them.
Also don't opt for Zimmermann. Go ATE, TRW or Textar. Trust me. Been there regretted every penny I spend on those death traps.
