RS2 owners Zimmerman discs?

[Jamo]

Any RS2 owners comment on the Zimmerman rear brake disc in comparison to the Audi OEM disc?

Lloyd intimated on another thread that the handbrake does not work as well without the OEM disc is this correct?

[paulsf]

My Zimmermans work better than the discs i had before but I can't comment on whether the previous ones were OEM or not. I don't think the handbrake has a good rep anyway so i tend not to bother with it unless hill starting. Leave it in first gear or reverse when parked, shouldn't move.

Zimmerman can still be setup to work fine, especially with new handbrake pads, cables and liners. These made a massive improvement, even though the brake worked OK before. Given the cost difference of the discs worth a punt.

Personally, I've gone for OEM as they do not rust up and I like the pretty drill pattern. Inner handbrake surface also looked better finished than some aftermarket alternatives. I think zimmerman do now coat some of their discs to slow down the rust right?

[Jamo]

Yeah the price difference is massive for a pair £180 for Zimmerman Crossdrilled vs £500 RRP for OEM RS2 discs

used zimmerman bought from ultimot.de twice. Handbrake seemed to me excactly the same as with OEM, needing excactly the same amount of treatment over time of readjustment.
i now have new handbrake shoes and it works fine at the moment.

as for the discs themselves, i couldnt notice any difference in lifetime than oem. Rear ones were changed now due to heavy salt use here in the UK. i have cryoed them so ill see how much they last now

I have the undrilled zimms. no trouble with rust as they are painted with exhaust paint. You can get a sliver/grey that is a perfect match for the oem colour.
Good saving!

rob stop it now, we are just going to be getting more and more stuff to do!!

Thanks for all comments, I'll put down Zimmerman on my list instead of the OEM

I also have Zimmerman drilled in the back and they're perfect quality/price for me
I painted the bells of the discs with hightemp 800° spraypaint.... i do fireplaces and stoves so I had on hand a perfect "barecastiron" paint that it's just perfect OEM look.
Three years and no rust so far...

I have 323 mm Zimmermann solid discs in front on my s2, works very well together with the EBC pads. But they do seem to rust fast as you guys say.

Seems I'll have to check when I buy them discs made after 2008 by Zimmerman now have anti corrosion on them for some of the range.

Anyone know were to get these Zimmerman cross drilled rears in the Uk? & do they also make the 322mm drilled fronts?

[Jamo]

Gsf for the rears, no on the 322 you would have to buy from Audi or buy the Porsche 965 3.6 turbo discs 322 discs from Jasmine Motorsports
