Sebro vs. Zimmermann Rotors (Track/Street) setup
#31
If anything, I would state that the factory brakes in the rear are too small for track duty and this is a true plug and play upgrade.

@snake eyes It sounds like you just got unlucky with a bad batch of pads. I remember reading (I think about Pagid yellows) that people were having issues with chunks of it breaking away. There is no doubt that Girodisc rotors are superior, but the Sebro 350/350 setup provides a nice factory fit upgrade. For those frequently tracking, a track pad and girodisc rotors will always be superior to "mixed use" pads and single piece rotors.

The Endless MX line, while still a “compromised” pad, has a higher temp range (+200-250c), and also doesn’t seem to fall apart when pushed beyond its limit.

Ordered my 350/350 rotors and fedoros from FCP this week and will be installing within the next month or so. The hardest driving this car will see is in the mountains, so I'm looking forward to trying this out...hoping it's the sweet spot for what I need.

Due to parts availability, I went with the SHW Performance OE rotors for my T. FCP Euro didn’t have full sets available for Zimmerman or Sebro. I am looking into options for fitting 380mm GT3 rotors and calipers. The AP Racing 380mm brake kits are $10k and rotor ring replacements run $2k a front/rear set, whereas a set of GT3 rotors from FCP Euro is $2400 and has lifetime replacement warranty. I have a lot of questions on fitting the GT3 rotors and calipers, maybe I can find someone locally who has some spare parts I can mock up for fitment and make some measurements or laser scan. Anyways, this was a bit off topic I guess, as the original post was asking for choice between Sebro or Zimmerman, and now I think we’re just looking for good brake options in general, sorry for the derailment.

350/350 slotted sebros, ds2500 pads and motul 660 service completed today. All traffic on the drive home but the bite and pedal feel was very nice compared to the shot oem brakes.
Did anyone do a simple bedding procedure on this setup? Is it required? Any recommended intervals? I.E. 70 to 20 mph stops repeated ramping up pressure

Hey JPU1
I upgraded my fronts to the red 991 6 pot and 350dia sebro. fit perfect.. The rear I purchased 997 gt3 caliper they also fit perfect. BUT the rear sebro would not fit flush with the hub plate. The rotor sits 5mm off the hub. I was going to make a spacer for behind the rotor. I am curious what part number you have for your rear 350mm slotted sebro? thanks
