New Brakes

gindajatt1 · 03-23-2012, 11:43 AM

Hey guys I just needed some Help, I need to get new brakes on my 06 325i, my budget is tight and I'm out of warranty. I was thinking of getting Zimmerman brake pads and rotors, anyone know anything about these? They are a German brand. Any advise on these will be much appreciated, thanks!

Zimmermann rotors are a very good choice- don't sell yourself short on the Pads though.Combine those rotors with the Cool Carbon pads FTW.Plus our 30/30 sale is not quite over so the price is right! We sell other brands but the CC is always our first choice.

Zimmerman Formula Z rotors are made in Germany and are of very high quality.

Have a look at Porterfield R4S pads as well as Stoptech Street Performance pads to go with the Zimmerman rotors.

Don't do the Porterfields... They are amazing on the track, but they made so much noise it was horrid...

Axxis Ultimates all the way
