Brake pads Zimmermann or JURID
Reviews
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
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
Jurid is good brand, I have ceramic pads on all the family BMW and they are nice very light brake dust on wheels, I used akebono pads, but I would not have an issue if I had to switch to Jurid
Pros: light brake dust
Vehicle:
BMW
New Jurid front brake pads and a new front brake pad wear sensor April 2025.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I remember somebody talking about swapping out the Brembo for Zimmermann brakes and he was much happier with those.
Pros: much happier
Cons: needed replacing quickly
I’ve had these Jurid pads on my 2019 S for about four months now and they’ve been great so far.
Pros: great performance, reliable
Part number: 8V0698151G
Pads I went with Jurid as they’re oem and wanted strong initial bite. The Jurids nock when I reverse, apply brake, shift to drive and apply again. It’s very annoying. My original BMW OEM pads didn’t do this.
Pros: strong initial bite
Cons: nock when reversing
Vehicle:
BMW
Front brake pads are worn. I have a new set of Jurid OEM pads that will come with the car.
Pros: new pads included
Cons: worn pads
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 160700 km
I switched to the supposedly equivalent Zimmerman blanks and textar pads and I didn’t like the performance so I switched back to the stock brakes.
Cons: poor performance
I purchased Zimmerman pads and rotors from FCP. FCP is fine but the Zimmerman brakes squeal like a bitch.
Cons: brakes squeal loudly
