Quality
Our product range in the brake pads sector includes over 1,000 different items, covering the vast majority of vehicles currently on the road. To ensure wholesalers have rapid access to our products, we maintain a warehouse with the capacity to store more than 120,000 sets of brake pads.

Every vehicle has its own unique characteristics and therefore specific requirements for brake pads. Our products are made using up to 25 different raw materials, carefully combined to achieve the highest standards of quality, reliability, and safety. Each brake pad undergoes a rigorous 2–3 year development process, including extensive road testing. The “OE Approvals” from leading automobile manufacturers are a testament to the expertise and precision of our specialists.

Your Advantages:

• Over 1,000 product variants
• Large storage capacity (120,000 sets) for rapid availability
• OE quality standards
• OES quality Long service life Smooth and consistent braking performance
• Complies with ECE R90 regulations
• Excellent corrosion protection
• Complete range from a single supplier 

What they do: 

• The pads are engineered to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy by pressing against the brake disc—a controlled friction process that brings the vehicle to a stop with minimal fade and consistent feel.
• ZIMMERMANN uses friction-material mixtures drawn from up to 25 different raw-material types, tailored to vehicle and braking system demands.
• The result is a braking solution that boasts long lifespan, very smooth performance, and largely conforms to ECE R90 standards for defined braking behaviour and safety. 
• Comfort-oriented features—such as damping plates, directional bevels, grooves and tuned vibration-absorbing layers—help suppress noise and vibration while maintaining crisp response. 

Why brake pads fail:

• Wear-out of friction material: Over time, the pad material becomes thinner and loses its capacity to generate sufficient friction—leading to longer stopping distance and reduced effectiveness.
• Glazing or thermal overload: When subjected to repeated heavy braking or high temperature without proper match to the disc, the pad surface can harden (glaze) or lose its ideal friction coefficient, reducing deceleration.
• Uneven contact or mismatch: If the pad and disc aren’t perfectly paired (material mismatch, incorrect installation, warped disc) then only part of the pad surface may work, causing hotspots, uneven wear, vibration or faster failure.
• Loss of comfort/design features: Without the built-in damping/chamfering/tuned geometry, pads may generate noise, harshness, uneven wear or premature damage—especially in compact performance systems where tolerances are tight.

Why they should be replaced:

• Ensuring the braking system delivers its designed stopping power means you maintain safe deceleration, consistent pedal feel and proper response under emergency or repeated use.
• Replacing before performance degrades protects other components—worn pads can harm the brake discs, calipers or result in higher repair cost.
• Comfort and refinement are part of the product promise: the ZIMMERMANN pad set’s smooth operation and low-noise design mean you preserve vehicle refinement, not just raw performance.
• Compliance matters: Because the pads largely conform to ECE R90, using a worn or incompatible pad may move you away from the standardised braking behaviour expected for your vehicle, especially important in high-end or performance cars.
• The development pedigree behind the pads (2–3 years of development cycles, extensive test-miles) means the replacement component offers replacement-grade quality rather than a generic substitute.

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)
