Disc Brake Kit

When looking to service the brake system of your vehicle, a brake kit is the best option of choice. Brake kits take the guesswork out of which components are needed for the repair as they include everything needed to perform the job.

Zimmerman's guiding principle is "As close to OE as possible." This commitment ensures that all Zimmermann products align closely with OE quality standards. This dedication extends to addressing the unique challenges posed by individual vehicle manufacturers who often develop proprietary products to secure the spare parts market.

This proactive approach allows Zimmermann to generate aftermarket solutions, particularly when manufacturer-provided brake discs are protected by patents.

Great OEM replacement
The good: I did a lot of research and initially thought I wanted drilled/slotted rotors for the look on my mk7.5 GTI. After hearing about how fast the pads wear on slotted rotors, I decided against them. This Zimmerman kit was an easy install and everything was provided to complete the job. Driving up and down the street a few times after install gets the coating off and they have settled in nicely. They’re nice and quiet and feel great. I’m happy with the purchase. The bad: I wish there was a better way to ship these, because the box I got them in was completely destroyed and busted open. FCP needs to monitor their warehouse folks and not let them ship brake parts (pads/rotors), in the same box as ignition components (coils/plugs). FCP made it right though and let me send back the damaged ignition components.

Awesome kit
This kit made it super-easy to do the brakes. The Zimmermann rotors have a nice protective coating that doesn't need to be washed off prior to use, which is a nice touch. These rotors and pads are a nice OEM replacement.

Question Posted by a customer
Hi there, what is the life span of these rotors and pads? Similar to OEM? 30 - 50K?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Typically the lifespan is similar to OEM however this is also subjective to driving conditions and habits.
