Has anyone had any problems with any of the following brands of rotors?

1. ATE
2. Zimmermann
3. Bradi
4. Brembo

Which (if any) of these are the best?

Thanks in advance.

    My last 2 or 3 sets of fronts (240 and 940) were/are Brembos. No problems.

    My last 4 or 5 sets of rears on 240s were NAPAs from China. Again, no problems.

      I've also used the dirt-cheap rear rotors several times with no issues. There's little enough heat generated there that they're not particularly prone to warpage unless you've got a sticking caliper, and as long as they fit, don't have any initial runout or width variation beyond specs, and the handbrake works properly, go for whatever strikes your fancy. I'll vouch for any rotor that's $20(CDN) or less and works!

    Well, ATe made the originals, whatever that is worth. The local machine shop counterman oohed and aahed over Brembos when I used their box to bring him something. I buy Zimmermann because I like anything that starts with a zed, and I don't know Bradi from the Brady Bunch. No haven't had any reason to warn you off of anything here.
