HOLY ****E! so the fronts would save ~22lbs per corner?! that's awesome

not ready for new ones yet, but surfing to find options for when the time comes... always hate having to pay top dollar for those 'surprise' maintenance items...

 

Lol! Something is amiss on the weights. If the Zimmerman is half the weight of the MB part using the same materials, I don't want it!

Saving weight with aluminum hats properly engineered makes sense, but removing material from a disk does not! Remember that you are stopping a very heavy car from high speeds with massive pad surface area - the rotors are under a lot of stress.

I don't believe the Zimmermans are inferior (other than rust), I just don't think the weight differential is that great. Either MB is lighter than stated above or Z is heavier, or both.

Let us know when you find out!

 

Nevermind - think I found it...

Z - Coated: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/..._pg1.htm#item7

Unless the Z coating weighs 15lbs. lol

 

Zimmermann makes a quality part. I used them on all of my Audi's.

 

Any idea which ones have a black hat?
