I have had zimmerman cross drilled rotors and EBC green stuff pads on my bug for over two years and I am still totally in love with thier performance.

I have done stops full threshold braking stops from well over 100mph with zero fading, I have done tons of late braking on back roads and in the mountains, I have abused them at 115*F to -5* and have had excellant results.

I have tons of pad left both front and rear, my rotors are still round and true, there is no cracking and I havent had a problem with glazing...

I know that there was a batch of zimmerman rotors that seemed to crack and warp very quickly but since then there haven't been any complaints that I have seen.

I can not recommend this combination enough for every day driving.. plus I get almost no percievable brake dust between washings.
