vs
Brake pads Zimmermann or ENDLESS
Reviews
Me20, expensive but lasts a while even on heavier cars, and almost no squeal on street
Pros: lasts a while, almost no squeal
Cons: expensive
I replaced the Brembo with the Zimmermann myself, so far so good, the original Brembo brakes warped after less than 15.000 km, I have now another 15.000 km driven with the Zimmermann and they are as good as new.
Pros: good as new
Cons: Brembo brakes warped
Mileage: 15000 km
Mods:
* Endless ME-20 track pads
Vehicle:
BMW M2
How is the brake dust with the Endless pads?
I just installed front and rear brakes @90k on my MK7.5 GTI w/PP brakes with a kit from FCP Euro Zimmerman cross drilled font and rear with EBC Red Stuff pads. The price has gone up a good bit since then but its a good upgrade from stock imo.
Pros: good upgrade from stock
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 90000 km
I just swapped to Endless ME20 for my non-daily, but it's not obnoxiously loud, I could see myself daily driving it.
Pros: not obnoxiously loud, suitable for daily
Vehicle:
BMW
I run Endless SS-Y’s on the street, and have never had to clean brake dust off my wheels even when running white ones. They’re fantastic
Pros: fantastic, low brake dust
I use endless me20's on my FL5. i've had no issues with it on the street, and is obviously a very very good track pad primarily. if you're fine with a little squeal, these are good imo.
Pros: very good track pad
Cons: a little squeal
Vehicle:
Honda
I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
Pros: last longer
Cons: overheating fronts, hard on rotors, hard to get affordably
Vehicle:
Porsche
I ran the MX72s until I melted them onto the rotors as well.
Cons: melted onto the rotors
