Zimmerman rotors for track duty?
Hey guys,
I was planning on getting OE rotors since I need them. I plan on seeing 2-3 track days a year, but regardless I don't like taking chances on things like rotors. I was just looking a prices and the zimmermans seem to be a real popular and less expensive alternative. Also, I have no interest in anything slotted or drilled. I'll probably go OE, but want to make sure I've looked into all my options first. Has anyone used them and trust them on the track?

I use zimmerman (non-drilled) for PCA autocross and also lapping and time attack on a very tight local track, no issues at all.
Joe, where do you get the cheap chinese front rotors from?

They only work on early offset cars however.

I am on my 7th DE with drilled Zimmermans all around.
I have had no issues....other than having to make sure I clean the brake dust from the holes.
