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

Carquest Platinum painted brake rotors meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) specifications, delivering superior stopping power with proper harmonic design and non-directional finish that eliminate noise. Carquest Platinum painted rotors feature RotorShield, a rust-inhibiting barrier that provides up to 5 times more protection than non-painted rotors. The RotorShield barrier is applied to the rotor hat to protect from unsightly rust and help maintain a like-new appearance. Our rotors are designed to effectively dissipate heat, helping to eliminate brake fade and increase the life of the pads and rotors. Carquest Platinum painted brake rotors are designed for long-lasting and quiet braking with superior performance.

Product Features:

• Engineered to withstand 120 hours of salt spray testing
• Meets or exceeds OE design for superior stopping power
• Exceeds ISO manufacturing guidelines (International Organization for Standardization)
• Matches OE vane size for proper cooling
• Optimal metallurgy and casting thickness to preventing warping
• Air gap eliminates brake fade and increases pad life
• Non-directional finish decreases break-in time

The Zimmermann Formula Z brake disc was designed with the aim of teaming simple installation with optimum braking effect under high mechanical and thermal load. The compound brake disc developed by Zimmermann accommodates the increased demands incurred by engine tuning and optimized chassis structures. COAT-Z – Coat-Z is 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. Formula Z – Bake Disc – The composite or compound brake disc named Formula Z is suitable for motorsport applications due to its special design. In contrast to the fully cast-iron brake disc, the friction ring (cast iron) and hub (aluminum alloy) are connected by steel pins. The resulting, floating construction reduces the thermal buffering of the friction ring in the operating temperature state substantially, because the friction ring can freely expand under thermal stress (e.g. when braking from high speeds or several consecutive brake applications). The use of aluminium alloy also considerably reduces the unsprung masses on the vehicle. Material quality / high carbon – 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:

• 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
