What they do
Zimmermann’s R&D:z brake pads employ a special
friction compound containing organic fibers, which forms a thin, protective
transfer layer between the brake disc and pad during braking.
This innovative layer:
- Improves
pedal feel and stopping precision.
- Provides high resistance of the friction coefficient across varying temperatures.
- Minimizes abrasion and dust creation, keeping rims cleaner for longer.
- Offers smoother, quieter operation with significantly less vibration.
- Enhances braking comfort and heat resistance for consistent, fade-free performance.
Each braking cycle renews this friction layer, continuously maintaining optimal grip and reducing wear — ensuring every stop feels as confident as the first.
Why brake pads fail
Even advanced pads such as the Zimmermann range can
deteriorate over time if not properly maintained or installed:
- Material
Wear: Friction compounds naturally thin with mileage, reducing
stopping power and increasing braking distance.
- Thermal
Overload or Glazing: Heavy, repeated braking can overheat pads,
hardening the surface and diminishing friction performance.
- Uneven
Disc Contact: Poor fitment or warped rotors can cause localized wear,
vibrations, and noise.
- Contamination
or Corrosion: Exposure to dirt, salt, or moisture can compromise pad
integrity, accelerating wear.
- Old-Type Materials: Non-optimized compounds create excessive dark dust and noise compared with Zimmermann’s advanced dust-reduced formulation.
Why they should be replaced
- Maintain Braking Efficiency: Replacing pads before the friction material wears out ensures maximum safety and consistent stopping distances.
- Preserve Wheel Appearance: The Zimmermann dust-reduced compound produces lighter, brighter dust that’s nearly invisible, helping rims stay clean.
- Enhance Driving Comfort: New pads eliminate brake squeal and vibration, restoring smooth pedal response.
- Reduce Environmental Impact: Less abrasion means fewer particulates released into the environment — an eco-friendly braking solution.
- Prolong Brake System Life: Lower wear rates protect both discs and calipers, saving on long-term maintenance costs.
In short, timely replacement with Zimmermann pads keeps your braking system precise, quiet, and clean — for confident,
sustainable performance.

- Complete range from a single supplier
What they do
- These pad units convert the motion of your vehicle into stopping power by pressing the friction material against the disc, transforming kinetic energy into heat in a controlled manner—ensuring reliable deceleration, consistent response and minimal fade.
- The pb:z line uses friction-material mixtures drawn from up to 25 different raw materials, tailored specifically for each vehicle’s braking system and usage profile.
- Manufactured with careful control of temperature, pressure and time, the production process ensures that each pad set meets the design criteria for braking comfort, precision and functional safety.
- Your advantage: the pb:z range in ‘OES-quality’ (Original Equipment-Standard quality) delivers highest level of brake comfort, precision for highest functional safety, and is available for some special applications.
- Further benefits: long lifespan, very smooth performance, and conformity to ECE R90 standards for braking performance.
Why brake pads fail
- Friction-material wear: Over time, the pad material thins, reducing the effective contact area and friction coefficient. When the pad becomes too thin, stopping distance increases and performance deteriorates.
- Thermal overload or glazing: Under repeated heavy braking or mismatched pad/disc pairing, the surface can harden or glaze, losing its ideal friction characteristics—leading to fade or uneven braking.
- Uneven pad-to-disc contact: If pads don’t make full uniform contact due to disc warpage, caliper misalignment, or incorrect installation, only portions of the pad carry load, which accelerates wear or creates hotspots.
- Corrosion or contaminants: Although the pb:z line offers optimal corrosion protection, external factors (salt, water ingress, lack of maintenance) can degrade surfaces, impairing pad stability and life.
- Loss of comfort/damping features: If design features like damping plates or proper backing-plates are compromised, then vibration, noise or uneven wear may emerge—reducing the pad’s effective lifespan or creating failure symptoms.
Why they should be replaced
- Maintain stopping power and safety: To retain predictable braking distances, consistent pedal feel and full system responsiveness, the pad set must operate within specification. Once friction material wears beyond safe limits, system performance suffers.
- Protect the rest of the braking system: Worn or failing pads can lead to disc damage, caliper piston overheating, or uneven rotor wear—resulting in higher repair costs down the line.
- Preserve refinement and driving comfort: The pb:z pad set offers smooth, quiet operation with minimal noise or vibration. Replacing at the correct time preserves that comfort and refined braking feel.
- Conform to regulatory and planned performance standards: Since these pads are designed to comply with ECE R90 and built to high-precision standards, replacing them at appropriate intervals ensures you retain this benchmark level of braking behaviour and safety.
- Match the development pedigree: These pads result from advanced development cycles (2-3 years plus extensive testing) and represent a replacement-grade compared to generic alternatives. Choosing timely replacement helps you maintain performance aligned with original design intent.

What They Do
The Zimmermann pads are precision-engineered components designed to
convert your vehicle’s motion into reliable stopping power through controlled
friction between the pad and brake disc.
In short, these pads are crafted for drivers who value long service life, smooth braking, and consistent safety at a competitive cost.
Why Brake Pads Fail
Even premium pads degrade over time due to natural wear and driving
conditions.
Common causes include:
- Friction-Material Wear: Continuous use thins the pad, reducing braking effectiveness and increasing stopping distance.
- Thermal Overload / Glazing: Excessive heat from prolonged braking or aggressive driving hardens the pad surface, leading to fade and vibration.
- Uneven Contact: If discs are warped or the pad fitment is imperfect, surface
contact becomes inconsistent, causing hotspots and premature wear.
- Contamination & Corrosion: Salt, dirt, and moisture can compromise pad integrity and performance.
- Inferior Substitutes: Non-optimized materials lack Zimmermann’s friction balance and fade resistance, resulting in noise, dust, or shorter life.
Why They Should Be Replaced
- Preserve Braking Efficiency: Fresh pads restore original stopping performance, keeping braking distances short and predictable.
- Maintain Comfort and Quietness: The pb:z pad structure minimizes noise and vibration—worn pads remove that refinement.
- Protect Brake Discs: Worn pads can damage rotors through metal-to-metal contact, increasing replacement costs.
- Sustain Safety and Control: New pads maintain stable friction coefficients across heat cycles, ensuring consistent pedal feel and fade-free braking.
- Ensure Compliance: Pads conforming to ECE R90 regulations preserve the braking behavior your vehicle was designed to deliver.
Replacing worn pads with the Zimmermann Premium Brake Pad Set ensures both optimal performance and longevity—without compromise.

What they do:
- The pads are engineered to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy by pressing against the brake disc—a controlled friction process that brings the vehicle to a stop with minimal fade and consistent feel.
- ZIMMERMANN uses friction-material mixtures drawn from up to 25 different raw-material types, tailored to vehicle and braking system demands.
- The result is a braking solution that boasts long lifespan, very smooth performance, and largely conforms to ECE R90 standards for defined braking behaviour and safety.
- Comfort-oriented features—such as damping plates, directional bevels, grooves and tuned vibration-absorbing layers—help suppress noise and vibration while maintaining crisp response.
Why brake pads fail:
- Wear-out of friction material: Over time, the pad material becomes thinner and loses its capacity to generate sufficient friction—leading to longer stopping distance and reduced effectiveness.
- Glazing or thermal overload: When subjected to repeated heavy braking or high temperature without proper match to the disc, the pad surface can harden (glaze) or lose its ideal friction coefficient, reducing deceleration.
- Uneven contact or mismatch: If the pad and disc aren’t perfectly paired (material mismatch, incorrect installation, warped disc) then only part of the pad surface may work, causing hotspots, uneven wear, vibration or faster failure.
- Loss of comfort/design features: Without the built-in damping/chamfering/tuned geometry, pads may generate noise, harshness, uneven wear or premature damage—especially in compact performance systems where tolerances are tight.
Why they should be replaced:
- Ensuring the braking system delivers its designed stopping power means you maintain safe deceleration, consistent pedal feel and proper response under emergency or repeated use.
- Replacing before performance degrades protects other components—worn pads can harm the brake discs, calipers or result in higher repair cost.
- Comfort and refinement are part of the product promise: the ZIMMERMANN pad set’s smooth operation and low-noise design mean you preserve vehicle refinement, not just raw performance.
- Compliance matters: Because the pads largely conform to ECE R90, using a worn or incompatible pad may move you away from the standardised braking behaviour expected for your vehicle, especially important in high-end or performance cars.
- The development pedigree behind the pads (2–3 years of development cycles, extensive test-miles) means the replacement component offers replacement-grade quality rather than a generic substitute.
