Zimmermann’s brake pad range is produced with quality engineering, ensuring optimal braking comfort, minimal wear, and dependable stopping power. Every set undergoes a development process lasting up to 3 years and thousands of test miles, guaranteeing outstanding performance and reliability across diverse driving conditions.

What They Do
The Zimmermann brake pads are designed to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy during braking, delivering controlled deceleration with minimal noise and consistent pedal feedback.

Key features and benefits:

• Tailored friction compounds: Formulated using up to 25 different raw materials for optimal grip, balance, and fade resistance.
• Vehicle-specific design: Each pad set is tuned to match the braking characteristics of its intended vehicle type.
• High comfort & low noise: Chamfered edges, anti-vibration layers, and precision backing plates ensure quiet operation.
• Long service life: Durable friction surfaces and quality binding ensure minimal wear, even under demanding conditions.
• Corrosion-resistant components: Protective coatings safeguard against rust, ensuring long-term performance.
• ECE R90 conformity: Certified to meet European safety and braking standards.

Zimmermann’s standard pads are trusted by professionals and enthusiasts alike for smooth, predictable braking and a refined driving experience.

Why Brake Pads Fail

• Even the best pads will wear over time. Common causes of brake pad failure include:
• Friction material wear: Continuous heat and pressure gradually thin the pad surface, reducing braking power.
• Glazing or overheating: Prolonged heavy braking can harden the pad surface, decreasing friction efficiency.
• Uneven contact or alignment issues: Warped rotors or improper installation can cause uneven wear and vibration.
• Contamination: Dust, oil, or road debris can penetrate the braking surface, reducing grip and causing squeal.
• Neglected maintenance: Worn pads increase rotor wear, leading to higher repair costs and potential safety risks.

Regular inspection and timely replacement ensure consistent braking performance and protect your vehicle’s entire braking system.

Why They Should Be Replaced

• Replacing worn or underperforming brake pads with the Zimmermann set ensures your vehicle maintains:
• Reliable braking performance: Fresh pads restore maximum friction, improving stopping distance and response time.
• Driving comfort & quiet operation: Maintains Zimmermann’s hallmark of smooth, low-noise braking.
• Protection for brake discs: Prevents premature rotor wear and costly component damage.
• Consistent safety: Guarantees even pressure distribution and stable pedal feel in all conditions.
• Efficiency & lifespan: New pads maintain proper heat dissipation and energy transfer, extending both pad and disc life.

Zimmermann’s precision-engineered standard brake pads ensure reliability, safety, and long-lasting value for everyday and performance-oriented drivers alike.

Zimmermann’s engineering process uses premium friction materials to deliver stable braking force, low noise, and excellent heat resistance, ensuring performance aligned with Porsche levels of safety and reliability—without mentioning or depending on the term “OEM”.

What These Handbrake Shoes Do
Handbrake shoes operate inside the rear brake discs' internal drum, providing mechanical braking force separate from the hydraulic main braking system.

Key Functions of Handbrake Shoes

• Secure parking hold on inclines and uneven surfaces
  
• Smooth handbrake engagement with predictable response
  
• Consistent friction due to durable lining materials
  
• Stable mechanical braking even in cold or wet conditions
  
• Long-term durability under repeated tension and load

Zimmermann’s friction compound ensures optimal grip without excessive wear, making them ideal for both daily use and spirited driving environments.

Why Handbrake Shoes Fail
Parking brake shoes wear differently than disc brake pads, but they remain susceptible to aging, contamination and mechanical degradation.

Common Causes of Failure

• Lining wear from repeated parking brake engagement
  
• Corrosion from moisture, salt or long storage periods
  
• Glazing due to overheating from driving with the handbrake partially engaged
  
• Delamination where the friction lining separates from the shoe backing
  
• Mechanical fatigue from worn springs or mechanisms
  
• Accumulated debris inside the brake drum reducing friction

Worn or damaged handbrake shoes can cause weak holding power, handbrake warning lights, noises, or MOT/inspection failures.

Zimmermann’s construction resists moisture, heat and debris, reducing the likelihood of premature failure.

Why They Should Be Replaced
Replacing old or fatigued handbrake shoes restores the Porsche’s essential safety functions and parking stability.

Benefits of Replacement

• Restores full parking brake strength
• Prevents vehicle movement on slopes
• Improves handbrake feel and pedal/lever travel
• Prevents rotor damage caused by metal-to-metal contact
  
• Eliminates grinding, squealing or vibration
• Ensures MOT readiness / safety compliance
• Ideal for cars stored for extended periods (common with Porsche models)
