Need Help! Anyone with Zimmerman rotors or aftermarket brakes
Hello people.I did a search with no luck so Im turning to you,the experts.I am upgrading my brakes and purchesed a set of rotors from germanautoparts.com and they are Zimmerman cross drilled.My ? and concern is my 99 A4 1.8TQM has 10.9" 276MM stock rotors and I recieved 11.5" 288mm which is all they sell with the exception of the big brake kit which needs different calipers.Will these 11.5" 288mm rotors fit my car without using any other added parts.I got rears also(same Zimmerman x-drilled) and they are the same size as the stock(9.6" 245mm)so im not worried about them.Please guide me and tell me they sent the right ones and I do not have to repackage 200lbs of rotors to return.Thanks for any help or suggestions and most importantly,your time.

I bought Zimmerman's from Germanautoparts too and they
were the correct size, although I have a 2.8q. Rotors work well but didn't see a real difference from stock. I bought X-drilled because the were the same price as OEM.

What he's showing you is that the Bentley's manual says your OEM rotors were 288mm. The ETKA also
says the front rotor should be 288mm.
I'd pop one on and see if it doesn't fit properly. Germanautoparts will still take it back if it doesn't.
