For what it is worth, I have had two sets of Zimmermans on my BMW and both sets warped very quickly. I would stick with Brembos, but I am sure many people have had great success with Zimmermans. They are apparently OEM for BMW and Mercedes.

I could be all wrong, but I ordered a catalog from them and they had really good prices on sets... and there's a choice of factory standard (cheapest), cross-drilled (more $) and slotted, which are evidently the hot new way to stop a Boxster fast ($$$)
Call them and ask for your specific model.
BTW- I also see sets of brand new discs on Ebay that should work, and they're reasonably priced.

I've heard slotted rotors are hell on brake pads. Quick question...under fairly normal use with some hard driving, what is a ballpark on oem brake pad life? I was think of upgrading my pads to Pagid oranges when my stock pads wear out as I hear these are among the best. Anyone have any experience with Pagid pads? Impressions?

I have heard as little as 40k all the way up to 80k for pad life,me personally 53k. I have put on the Pagid pads offered by ******************************** AZ,$130 New front and back. I LOVE IT,after getting rid of the worn pads and replacing with Pagid its like a completely different brake system. I have only driven 50 miles on them though,darn work,college and barber are all on same street 3 miles from my house.
