Zimmerman Rotors

[james accordino]

I found the seller in the back of European Car mag.
Probably close to 5 yrs. ago. They sold brake kits.
Complete. Everything was included and NIB, but the
rotors sucked.  All 4 of them.  Since then it's been
only ATE or Zimmermann.  I've been using PBR Metal
Masters or whatever the changed the name to this week.
 I KNOW they're not high perf. like Hawk or some
others, but they work well for my needs.
