I use Zimmerman blanks on my track car and have been doing so for years. They work great, will hold up for numerous weekends, and are fairly inexpensive (free replacements from FCP Euro is also a big bonus).
I use stop tech on all my cars, kind of spongy at the very top but other than that they bite hard.
I'm a big fan of Zimmerman rotors. They're reasonably priced and wear well. Just don't get the 'fancy' drilled/slotted ones.
For my older volvo I used zimmermans and they were good. I think they are german brand.
Awesome! I used StopTech. Wanted slotted only, but they shipped me drilled and slotted. Oh and I went on doing the braided steel brake lines too for fun. So far so good ????
I’ve used Zimmerman rotors with Textar pads on my X5 and they’re pretty solid. They do squeak in the cold a lot more than the OE’s do but not that big of a deal to me. Performance wise I haven’t noticed a big difference if I’m honest.
The StopTech Zinc Coated Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors I’m using started their life as Centric 120 (121) blanks: https://www.buybrakes.com/brake-rotors/stoptech-drilled-slotted-brake-rotors-best-price-select-227
- The next step up is the 127 series high carbon rotor, but the cost is 2x the StopTech 227 series Centric 120/121 rotor and performance is roughly the same, only longevity changes as the hat is painted (vs the Zinc coating on the 227). I’ve had this set on my 2013 G37S for a couple of years now and performance is slightly better than stock with almost no brake dust thrown from the 305/308 series Centric pads that ship with the kit.
I replaced my pads and rotors a year ago with Akebono pads and Zimmerman rotors, no complaints at all.
Zimmerman rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. Great combo and affordable. Low dust.
I was recommended Zimmerman Rotors for my 550i by a bmw shop and I've really liked them so far. I've had them on for the past 4 yrs and never had an issue. I bought some autozone rotors once before that warped and rusted super quick.
