Hi Dave,
According to Zimmerman installation instructions and ATE tech support:
"Nothing between the Hub and rotor faces except a coat of light oil which you
apply and wipe off with a rag" (No Grease, No shims, No anything...)
I thought anti seize grease there would be good, but they say "NO!".
You must clean the hub face (and old rotor if you are reinstalling) to a pristine condition. There's hub tools to clean around the wheel studs etc.
There's run in instructions for rotors and pads.
You'll find Zimmermann wont talk to the public, but has a nice website loaded with solid tech support articles.
ATE has super tech support and you can chat with them via email or phone.
They have new offices in North America:
Maybe this means seeing ATE's full parts line available widely?
