vs
Brake pads Zimmermann or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
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 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
The pad material composite can be upgraded to extend mileage adding replacement parts like Bosch or Zimmermann (OEM suppliers) that are the same or better than stock.
Pros: better than stock

My Ioniq 6 was shaking and vibrating a lot while driving around today, so I turned on the disc brake cleaning function and slowed down from 65 to 45 half a dozen times to heat up the brakes. That melted the ice around the brakes and in the wheels, and the car went back to driving normally.
Pros: melted ice, resolved shaking
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I did them 6 months ago. I used import direct rotors from o Reilly. and some brake pads from NAPA I think I used Zimmerman brake pads. I have 0 problems with them and only need to do my rears in a couple of months according to the wear sensor.
Pros: zero problems, good performance

For me as an owner of a 2019 Hyundai Veloster with 60k and after 5 years of ownership , the only thing I had to do was change the oil , filter and brake pads.
Pros: reliable, easy maintenance
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Mileage: 60000 km
I am just now contemplating a sad goodbye to my 2003 Elantra VLE. It needs a brake job but has become a rust bucket driving in harsh winter conditions, Ottawa, Montreal.
Pros: basic maintenance diligently done
Cons: rust bucket
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.
Pros: still running
Cons: a lot of repairs

Hyundai
I used to own a 2012 sonata and one day last year the brakes started acting extremely sensitive and would even to activate on their own (it would cancel out cruise control when my foot wasn’t touching the brakes) and would cause my car to feel like it was stalling out.
Cons: extremely sensitive, activate on own, car stalling
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
then somehow the brake pads fell off, the windscreen wiper stopped working in the middle of a storm
Cons: brake pads fell off
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
