Zimmermann brake discs

kenny · 25-10-2006, 16:45

Hi all,

do they have a good reputation?

does anyone know where i can buy cross drilled Zimmermann brake discs?

Goochie · 25-10-2006, 16:51

I believe Harry had/has them on his Fabia.

Hey Mate
How are you?
We do ZeroSixty that are dimpled and grooved
Awesome GTI Store UK - ZERO SIXTY
Nice looking discs , but instead of the drills they are dimpled to get away from the cracks that could appear on the drill holes.
The grooves also work as a wear indicator
Prices are quite good too

golfturbo on this forum was selling them as an upgarded disc with his 312mm kits. It might be worth PM'ing him??

Yep, they are OEM fittment on Porsche cars so should be good.

hi Sarah,

tbh i dont like the look of them

i know its not about looks but the standard discs would be ok just fancied something a bit better in preformance and looks too

must be somewhere that sells Zimmermann discs on the net?

I bought some zimmermans for my golf a few years back from euro car parts.

Decron · 26-10-2006, 23:13

I have 312mm Zimmermans on my Fabia VRS and they are excellent. They withstood a few laps of the Combe and after 25000 miles they are still relatively unscathed.

I would recommend them.

Snoopie · 27-10-2006, 00:41

But Where from?

Decron · 27-10-2006, 01:09

I got mine from Fluffmiester who I belive got them from GolfTurbo

Harry_vRS · 27-10-2006, 01:14

I used to run Zimmermann discs.

They had warped after 14,000 miles. Thats with using them with oem brake pads aswell.

Good discs tho I'd definately recommend them - great stopping power and they look good too

kenny · 27-10-2006, 10:06

cant find anyone who sells them for an S4 345mm discs

TKW · 27-10-2006, 10:24

Same as Harry vRS - I'm having problems with my Zimmermans (?sp) at the moment

Have previously run black diamonds much much harder in the past with no problem.

seen one with the back missing at curborough track day a few years back.
had them on my ibiza and they were ok,depends how hard you drive,but drilled will crack.iirc the porsche versions are cast not drilled.
