Are Zimmerman brake rotors recommended?

[PaulE]

Zimmerman is a good brand, so are Sebro and Meyle. Make sure they are coated discs. They come with a zinc coating on the hats and rotors. The brake pads wear the coating off the discs, but it remains on the hats and keeps them from rusting for a lot longer. Check eBay and Rock Auto to see if the NAPA prices are competitive with the discount. I bought a set of all 4 discs Meyle on eBay in 2019 for $178 for my 2003S, it looks like prices have gone up since then! The Meyle discs have held up well with several HPDE's. I used Zimmerman the last time around and they were great too.

Thanks PaulE. I checked Rock Auto and didn't see those brands but they did have Brembo which I understand is a known brand and Bosche for about $81 - $91 per rotor both coated. So it looks like the NAPOA offer may not be so sweet.
