Default Meyle brake parts/rotors

Has anyone used/purchased Meyle rotors for their 911 SC? Good quality or not?

Stick with Porsche OE. They are the best for stock cars. No free lunches or shortcuts in 911 brakes. At least stick with an OEM supplier like Zmmn.

I think what Ed meant was to use only OEM brake parts and those are Zimmerman rotors and parts. Zmmn is , I believe an abbreviation of Zimmerman. Ed Sorry to hijack your answer.

Ron, that is correct. I got tired of autocorrect on my phone. Z made the OE rotors as I understand it. There are some who say the Porsche version was to a higher spec.

I agree with Ed. Stick with Zimmermann or Ate rotors. If you do mostly street driving, I'd even say stick with the solid, vented rotors, not the drilled ones. This is assuming that you have the stock calipers, and not Brembos. In fact, I'd even go further and say stick with stock Ate brake pins, and hoses. I've used PBR hoses, which are the same as Centric. They seem well made, but we'll see.
