I run Zimmermans rotors from Pelican on my 981 for couple years now. Have nothing bad to say about them!

Zimmerman Coates and drilled or cast-in-place drilled holes ?

What pads are you running ?

I'm not sure how holes are made... I looked up exact part number: Zimmerman Coat Z 997-351-401-01-M359
I run just generic ATE pads, I don't truck the car, this is just street setup.

I went with AP-Racing j-hook rotors and oem pads. Awesome combo. I would do this again.

I can't recommend them enough.

Here's picture. After 2 years/10K miles the coating holds pretty nice, and the hole rotor looks million times better than cheap generic ones on my other car

Sebro is the OEM porsche supplier like textar! FCP euro just provide highest quality parts! I'm from Toronto and I buy all my parts from their website! and you have a lifetime warranty! When your rotors or pads are done, buy new one and send them back the old one and you will be fully reimbursed.. amazing company

I just did the Sebro slots and Ferodo DS2500’s from FCP as part of a kit. I do have a squeal from the left rear but I only have 50 miles on them. I did the bedding procedure that was recommended and other users of Ferodo have have the same experience but the squeal gets less and less and is gone after about 500 miles.

Initial bite is stronger than Textar but with so few miles I don’t really have a good opinion at this point.

Glad you like them. The AP Racing J-Hook rotors will be coming soon to the FCP Euro catalog. Which pads are you running with these rotors?

I like the performance of the oem Porsche stuff and would like equal or better for street use, back country roads and the occasional track day or 2.

How does the aftermarket stuff compare to the oem stuff ?

Has anyone been running Zimmerman or Sebro rotors ?

Twr pads ?

I know and like how the Porsche oem pads perform overall, the dealer just wants too much for a full replacement here in Canada.

Dealer price for rears: $1400
Dealer price for front: $2200
Prices are for Pads, rotors, bolts, sensors, springs and paste.

My fear is buying the 3rd party stuff and being disappointed with the performance and having to buy oem in the end.

On the other hand I heard from a parts guy that there is no "low end market" for Porsche 911 stuff and so usually anything you buy is as good or better than oem. Can anyone validate this ?
Both Zimmermann and Sebro are high quality rotors and are listed for most Porsche models throughout our catalog. If you're looking to improve your braking performance over stock I would recommend Sebro slotted rotors with Ferodo Racing DS2500 pads.
