Product Information
Premium Brake Pad Set
This Zimmermann brake pad set belongs to the acclaimed pb:z
Premium Line, a replacement-grade friction set developed for drivers
demanding precision, safety, and comfort.
Each pad is built using friction material mixtures derived from up to 25
carefully selected raw materials, individually tailored to match the
braking characteristics of each vehicle.
This ensures maximum functional safety, high performance, and long
lifespan, all while maintaining optimal corrosion protection and adherence
to ECE R90 standards.
Sold as set for one complete axle.

What They Do
- The Zimmermann pads are precision-engineered components designed to
convert your vehicle’s motion into reliable stopping power through controlled
friction between the pad and brake disc.
- Performance-Tailored Design: Every vehicle has its own brake system characteristics, and these
pads are specifically formulated to suit your car’s individual braking
requirements.
- Advanced Friction Mixtures: Up to 25 raw materials ensure balanced performance across
temperature, humidity, and load variations.
- Manufacturing Precision: Zimmermann controls temperature, pressure, and time during
production to achieve consistent friction stability and pedal feel.
- OES-Quality Assurance: The pb:z range guarantees high brake comfort, precise
modulation, and superior braking efficiency under all driving
conditions.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Enhanced coating technology protects metal surfaces from rust and
wear, extending overall lifespan.
In short, these pads are crafted for drivers who value long service
life, smooth braking, and consistent safety at a competitive cost.
Why Brake Pads Fail
Even premium pads degrade over time due to natural wear and driving
conditions.
Common causes include:
- Friction-Material Wear: Continuous use thins the pad, reducing braking effectiveness and
increasing stopping distance.
- Thermal Overload / Glazing: Excessive heat from prolonged braking or aggressive driving
hardens the pad surface, leading to fade and vibration.
- Uneven Contact: If discs are warped or the pad fitment is imperfect, surface
contact becomes inconsistent, causing hotspots and premature wear.
- Inferior Substitutes: Non-optimized materials lack Zimmermann’s friction balance and
fade resistance, resulting in noise, dust, or shorter life.
- Contamination & Corrosion: Salt, dirt, and moisture can compromise pad integrity and performance.
Why They Should Be Replaced
- Preserve Braking Efficiency: Fresh pads restore original stopping performance, keeping braking
distances short and predictable.
- Maintain Comfort and Quietness: The pb:z pad structure minimizes noise and vibration—worn pads
remove that refinement.
- Protect Brake Discs: Worn pads can damage rotors through metal-to-metal contact,
increasing replacement costs.
- Sustain Safety and Control: New pads maintain stable friction coefficients across heat cycles,
ensuring consistent pedal feel and fade-free braking.
- Ensure Compliance: Pads conforming to ECE R90 regulations preserve the braking
behavior your vehicle was designed to deliver.
Replacing worn pads with the Zimmermann Premium Brake Pad Set
ensures both optimal performance and longevity—without compromise.
