@ www.Vertexauto.com Zimmerman cross drilled rotors are like $99 dollars a piece. That is not a bad price.

I think Sebro are better, see below from a Bert at Berlyn services (www.partsforporsche.co.uk) here in the UK,
"Zimmerman are a good disc but I now only sell Sebro a German manufactured disc that is probably the ones used by Porsche, they are even painted with zinc paint on the centres, they come in standard or cross drilled"

I have used Zimms in the past and unless I painted the centres they went rusty very quickly,

Call your local dealer. I just bought a pair of factory front disks for $89 each from Sunset. Same price as zimmermans from the usual web suspects, but no need to paint the hats. Some also claim that the porsche rotors (generally made by zimmerman) also last longer and are less likely to warp. Can't vouch for that, but all the better if it's true.

IIRC Zimmermann no longer sells rotors to Porsche.
