  • 2 x Front Brake Pad Warning Wires

Everything required to complete a professional front brake overhaul.

What Do the Components Do?

Front Brake Discs
The front brake discs rotate with the wheels and provide the friction surface for the brake pads. During braking they convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, which is rapidly dissipated through the disc to deliver consistent braking performance, minimise brake fade and maintain driver confidence.

Front Brake Pad Set
  Zimmermann brake pads are manufactured using advanced friction materials that provide excellent stopping power, progressive pedal feel and low noise levels. Designed to work perfectly with Formula Z brake discs, they offer consistent braking performance while helping to minimise brake dust and disc wear.  

Front Brake Pad Warning Wires
The brake pad warning wires continuously monitor brake pad thickness. Once the friction material reaches its minimum safe level, the sensor contacts the brake disc and activates the dashboard brake warning light, allowing the pads to be replaced before damage occurs to the brake discs.

Together, these components ensure safe, predictable braking performance for both everyday driving and enthusiastic road use.

Why Do Brake Components Wear Out?

Brake discs, brake pads and wear sensors are consumable service items that gradually wear during normal operation. Common causes include:

  • Continuous friction between the brake pads and discs.
  • High temperatures generated during braking.
  • Natural reduction in brake disc thickness.
  • Brake pad friction material wearing away.
  • Surface corrosion after prolonged vehicle storage.
  • Repeated heavy braking or spirited driving.
  • Heat cycling leading to disc distortion or pad glazing.
  • Brake pad warning wires activating at the end of pad life.

Driving style, mileage and road conditions all influence brake component lifespan.

Why Replace the Complete Kit?

Replacing the complete brake package offers several important advantages:

  • Restores maximum braking performance.
  • Ensures correct bedding-in between new discs and pads.
  • Eliminates uneven wear between old and new components.
  • Replaces worn brake pad warning sensors.
  • Improves brake pedal feel and modulation.
  • Reduces the risk of brake vibration and unwanted noise.
  • Lowers future labour costs by replacing all service items together.
  • Maintains the highest levels of braking safety and reliability.

Replacing only individual components can compromise braking performance and shorten the service life of new parts.

When Should the Kit Be Replaced?

A complete front brake service is recommended if you experience:

  • Brake pad warning light illuminated.
  • Brake discs worn below the manufacturer's minimum thickness.
  • Heavy scoring or grooves on the braking surface.
  • Brake vibration or steering wheel judder.
  • Squealing or grinding noises during braking.
  • Reduced braking performance.
  • Heat cracks or excessive corrosion.
  • During scheduled brake maintenance.

For optimum performance, brake discs, brake pads and warning wires should always be replaced together.

The Zimmermann Formula Z brake disc was designed with the aim of teaming simple installation with optimum braking effect under high mechanical and thermal load.
The compound brake disc developed by Zimmermann accommodates the increased demands incurred by engine tuning and optimised chassis structures.

Your advantages:
• Excellent deceleration action and no distortion of friction ring at high temperatures
• Substantial weight saving and therefore less unsprung mass
• Floating mounting enables radial expansion of the brake disc under relatively heavy loads, thus preventing shielding and increasing resistance to heat cracks
• „Hot spots" prevented by optimised design of ventilation channels
• 1:1 exchange of original disc possible
• Not subject to registration: general ABE certification supplied with disc
• No conversion required for brake tuning

For cars WITHOUT Ceramic Brake PCCB

Engineered to work perfectly with OE and Zimmermann brake discs, these front brake pads deliver progressive braking response, excellent resistance to brake fade, low brake noise and reduced brake dust while maintaining the braking characteristics Porsche intended.

What Do the Front Brake Pads Do?

Front brake pads are the primary friction components of your Porsche's braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure forces the pads against the front brake discs, generating friction that converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, slowing and safely stopping the vehicle.

Their primary functions include:

  • Providing the majority of the vehicle's braking force.
  • Delivering smooth, progressive stopping performance.
  • Maintaining braking stability under heavy deceleration.
  • Supporting Porsche ABS and Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
  • Providing precise pedal feel and driver confidence.
  • Delivering reliable braking performance in all driving conditions.

Because the front axle performs most of the braking work, maintaining high-quality brake pads is essential for optimum safety and performance.

Why Do Front Brake Pads Wear Out?

Brake pads are designed as consumable service components and naturally wear through normal operation. Common causes include:

  • Continuous friction against the brake discs.
  • High temperatures generated during braking.
  • Fast road and spirited driving.
  • Track day use. Repeated heavy braking.
  • Natural wear of the friction material.
  • High vehicle mileage.
  • Brake disc wear affecting pad contact.

Performance models such as the 991 Turbo, 992 and 718 GTS 4.0 place greater demands on the braking system, increasing brake pad wear during enthusiastic driving.

When Should the Front Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended whenever:

  • The brake pad wear warning light is illuminated.
  • The friction material reaches Porsche's minimum service thickness.
  • Braking performance begins to decline.
  • Squealing or grinding noises develop.
  • Uneven brake pad wear is detected.
  • Front brake discs are being replaced.
  • During scheduled brake servicing.
  • Before track events if the remaining pad material is approaching its wear limit.

For optimum braking performance, brake pad wear sensors should always be replaced whenever new brake pads are installed to ensure accurate brake wear monitoring and reliable operation.

Zimmermann’s engineering process uses premium friction materials to deliver stable braking force, low noise, and excellent heat resistance, ensuring performance aligned with Porsche levels of safety and reliability—without mentioning or depending on the term “OEM”.

What These Handbrake Shoes Do
Handbrake shoes operate inside the rear brake discs' internal drum, providing mechanical braking force separate from the hydraulic main braking system.

Key Functions of Handbrake Shoes

  • Secure parking hold on inclines and uneven surfaces
  • Smooth handbrake engagement with predictable response
  • Consistent friction due to durable lining materials
  • Stable mechanical braking even in cold or wet conditions
  • Long-term durability under repeated tension and load

Zimmermann’s friction compound ensures optimal grip without excessive wear, making them ideal for both daily use and spirited driving environments.

Why Handbrake Shoes Fail
Parking brake shoes wear differently than disc brake pads, but they remain susceptible to aging, contamination and mechanical degradation.

Common Causes of Failure

  • Lining wear from repeated parking brake engagement
  • Corrosion from moisture, salt or long storage periods
  • Glazing due to overheating from driving with the handbrake partially engaged
  • Delamination where the friction lining separates from the shoe backing
  • Mechanical fatigue from worn springs or mechanisms
  • Accumulated debris inside the brake drum reducing friction

Worn or damaged handbrake shoes can cause weak holding power, handbrake warning lights, noises, or MOT/inspection failures.

Zimmermann’s construction resists moisture, heat and debris, reducing the likelihood of premature failure.

Why They Should Be Replaced
Replacing old or fatigued handbrake shoes restores the Porsche’s essential safety functions and parking stability.

Benefits of Replacement

  • Restores full parking brake strength
  • Prevents vehicle movement on slopes
  • Improves handbrake feel and pedal/lever travel
  • Prevents rotor damage caused by metal-to-metal contact
  • Eliminates grinding, squealing or vibration
  • Ensures MOT readiness / safety compliance
  • Ideal for cars stored for extended periods (common with Porsche models)

Formula:R Brake Pads – for your perfect braking point. 

Compound Type:

OZ 20: suitable for long distance series; extremely high stability of the friction coefficient over a wide temperature range
OZ 30: suitable for sprint distances; highest friction coefficient with good wear properties of brake disc and brake pad

The mixtures of the friction material of Formula:R brake pads are individually developed in cooperation with our racing team and are successfully tested in endurance racing. The durability of brake discs and brake pads are just as important as a stable friction coefficient, which ensures that the pads are extremely fading-resistant. To adapt the pads to the individual requirements of different drivers, different friction compounds are available for some applications.

Zimmermann has been manufacturing high-quality brake parts at the Sinsheim site for more than 60 years. Our brake parts are used successfully in the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) under the extreme conditions at the Nürburgring and are constantly being further developed.
