Default Had them on my Corrado. Wore very fast. more

They wore very fast, after about 13k miles they needed to be replaced. Rotors were also cracking around the holes.

Unlike the Porsche rotors which have the holes cast in them, the Zimmermans are drilled...

I'm going with ATE Powerdiscs. No holes to crack and should last longer...
