Since 2008 Zimmermann is offering almost 400 Standard and almost 400 Sports Brake Discs in a coated version named Coat Z. The Zimmermann Coat-Z brake disc provides a protective coating that prevents rust and corrosion, extended rotor life and improved visual appearance. To improve the rust protection during storage and usage, Otto Zimmermann GmbH implements this new Coat-Z technology step by step in its production range. Beside the still optimum function of the brake disc, this coating ensures a consistent attractive appearance. Zimmermann brake discs are usually made of cast iron (with flake graphite) of different qualities; they correspond to the material used for the original spare parts. Therefore, the utilization of such materials (referred to as High Carbon by the competition) has always been a matter of course for Otto Zimmermann.

Product Features:

• Coat-Z protective anti-corrosion coating
• No formation of rust at the hub and herewith improved visual appearance
• Immediate functional capability without removal of the coating before mounting
• Excellent deceleration action and no distortion of friction ring at high temperatures
• Substantial weight saving and therefore less unsprung mass
• Floating mounting enables radial expansion of the brake disc under relatively heavy loads, thus preventing shielding and increasing resistance to heat cracks
• Hot spots prevented by optimized design of ventilation channels
• 1:1 exchange of original disc possible
• Not subject to registration: general ABE certification supplied with disc
• No conversion required for brake tuning

100% New Caliper – Manufacturer recommends replacing calipers in pairs. With innovative fixed and floating calipers in aluminum and nodular cast iron, ATE is Europe’s market leader. And there is a good reason for that: during development, ATE simulates operational stresses in terms of braking load, vibration, corrosion and wear in extensive series of trials. This means that every basic safety-relevant function is ensured, the sealing of the hydraulic system as much as the venting function of the piston (roll-back), the return (knock-back) function, or the function of the housing/pad guides. ATE original brake calipers are supplied ready-to-install: rear-axle calipers with handbrake are usually pre-filled and preset. This permits simple and correct bleeding in the vehicle.

Product Features:

• OE quality direct fit application.
• Friction Ready
• Corrosion inhibiting protection
• Ensures long life and maximum performance
• Natural exterior finish

ATE Continental is further extending its range of Brake Caliper Pin Boot Kits for ATE brake calipers. ATE caliper Pin Boot Kits are an essential component of ATE-designed fist floating brake calipers.

ATE supplies brake boosters in single or tandem versions and in all desired sizes and is one of the world’s leading OE suppliers of brake control and brake assist systems. The tie rod version, which is available for all designs, provides further weight reduction and additional optimized elongation characteristics. Front-bolt concepts on a tie-rod basis facilitate installation. Electric and mechanical brake assist systems, sensors for OHB, ACC, ESC, etc., as well as measures designed to optimize crash behavior complete the product portfolio. Brake assist systems are an important aid in emergency braking situations in which a driver needs to respond to an emergency situation, but does not apply the brakes with sufficient pressure. The brake assist recognizes the brake application speed to detect this type of panic situation, and activates the brake booster or the EBS hydraulic unit. Maximum braking is thus achieved although the force on the brake pedal is low – the shorter braking distance can even be life-saving.

Product Features:

• Original equipment (OE) quality
• Wide range of single and tandem Brake Boosters
• Unique tie-rod design meaning lighter and thinner parts for more efficient performance
• Most units are made of steel, but lightweight aluminium versions are also available.

Rein OE Manufactured Brake Vacuum Pumps are produced in an OE factory to the specifications of the auto maker’s engineers! These brake vacuum pumps come complete with a mounting gasket or seal, depending on the application. Vacuum pumps are used in vehicles with engines that do not produce sufficient vacuum to provide power to the braking system, EGR valves, intake manifold switches, as well as turbocharger actuators and others. A failed or improperly working brake vacuum pump can lead to a reduction in braking power, a reduction in part and/or full load performance, a triggering of check engine light or limp mode, or engine misfires. All Rein brake vacuum pumps are manufactured by an OE manufacturer and are the exact same units that originally came on the vehicle!

Product Features:

• Ensures the proper operation of vehicle’s braking as well as all other vacuum dependent systems
• Engineered and manufactured by an OE manufacturer
• Plug and play replacement for original vacuum pump
