Default Zimmermann rotors?

Does anyone have experience with Zimmermann rotors? So far I have not seen any mention of them on this forum.

What pads would work well with them?

They were excellent on my 2009 A5 with Akebono Euro Ceramic pads. I haven't needed brakes done yet on my A7, but assuming they make a version for it, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Common rotor and they are one of the OE suppliers to VAG. Get the "Z Coated" part.

He is simply saying "This" to the quoted area. Meaning he agrees with the quote.

Exactly. Could have used "X2" "spot on" etc.

I guess I am too old fashioned . "Right on" or "I agree" I would have understood.

No worries. As you stated they are an OE supplier. When my brakes go on my Q I'll be looking at them. My A7 got totaled a few weeks ago. Went with the Q due to the potholes on the roads I use. My wife wants an A7 again though as she loved it. I told her in 2 or 3 years we'll get a 2019 or 2020.
