Discs and pads

Post by Silverfox42 » Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:06 am

My (non carbon) front discs will be in need to replacement this summer, so researching for any experience of alternative brands that may be better than OEM?

APEC read well, but seem a bit too good to be true for the price.

Fully appreciate OEM is there for a reason, however tech has moved on with 'carbon content' alternatives which are lower wear and lower potential fade.

Any pointers welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I have the zimmermann ones on mine. They seem great. I fitted with Brembo pads not had any squeeling. I bought them on ebay during an offer for £550 (discs only) i found the pads again on ebay for about £80 (fullset)

The only issue is they arent "wavey" and im struggling to find rear disks which arent wavey to match.

Lot of comments online that Zimmermann are the OE provider for Porsche so im not worried that they are going to fail.
