BMW M2 Gets New Brakes - Akebono & Zimmermann (Review)

[@BertskiZPolski]

For those watching later on, the brakes are still great and I still have no complaints about them. The brake dust is much lower, and I don't seem to lose any stopping power when driving hard. You definitely need to push the brakes harder to get more stopping power compared to the OEM pads. Overall happy with them!

I was already going to switch to the Akebono on the next brake job. Thanks for the review.

those imprints are normal for these brakes, nothing to worry about. Got them in Audi too

how are the new breaks holding up

[@BertskiZPolski]

So far great after maybe 1500 miles on them. Still no complaints and the brake dust is much less on the front compared to the rear that still has OEM pads. No issues with vibrations, fading, or anything.

I don’t have a BMW. Akebono is the only brake pad I will use. Akebono need no brake in period and that comes from Akebono. I have never embedded them and never had a problem.

[@BertskiZPolski]

That is true for the pads but the Zimmerman rotors do ask for a 300km break in period, so it was still needed in my case. But the Akebonos are great, I’ll definitely use them again.
