Zimmerman blanks and EBC reds have been great for me
I would run Zimmerman Sport drilled rotors on my A4 with EBC yellows and they were outstanding.
The best combo was Zimmerman blanks and StopTech pads.
I got Zimmerman blanks and Ferodo Racing DS2500 pads and love that combo for track/street. They can be a bit noisy when cold and light braking on the street but if you just brake a bit harder no noise at all.
I went with Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads (non 5.0), been very happy with them.
I'm using the raybestos AT rotors on mine, along with some Hawk HPS pads, both bought from Rockauto. No complaints.
I went with Zimmerman rotors and oem pads on my M340i. Perfectly happy with the cost savings over the oem rotors.
You mention cost but not weight differential of the rotors, many people move to girodisks because it reduces the weight at each corner. With regards to blanks vs drilled, I have had no issues running drilled (Zimmerman) on my previous Audi TTs and my current 718. I run a dedicated set for track with Carbotech XP12s, no fade, no issues. 718 is in roughly the same weight category, 3k ish.
Zimmerman rotors (heavier then I would like)
I’m getting issues with rotors warping on my 2002 E53. I bought Zimmermann smooth rotors couple of years ago and they’ve been lathed couple of times now. At one point I had to replace Zimmermann pads too as they were excreting glue or something that caused “falling stars” on the rotor faces.
