The Zimmermann rotors for the back of the Beetle arrived today. I can’t judge the performance, but my initial impressions are they look good.
For those who aren’t familiar, Zimmermann is a German aftermarket brake company that still makes rotors in Germany. I went with them because I wanted to avoid the made-in-China rotors that are sold by many brands.
These rotors were quite affordable at $25 shipped each from Amazon.
They’re made in Germany. They have a zinc coating. The instructions are clear that you shouldn’t clean off the zinc coating. I guess you just run the pads right on the coating and it is rubbed off by the pads.
I’ll add more info on my impressions when I install them.
