Sport:Z Brake Disc Zimmermann

Zimmermann Sport:Z Brake Disc 

The Zimmermann Sport:Z Brake Disc for Porsche models was developed from experience with series-production brake systems combined with motorsport know-how. By pairing high-quality cast materials with a perforated braking surface, these discs are designed to offer a more sporting feel and appearance while retaining straightforward fitment for Porsche models.

Sub‑types and options in this category

Within the Sport:Z range you will typically find front and rear discs for selected Porsche models, often with vehicle- and axle-specific fitments. Many applications use Zimmermann’s Coat Z anti-corrosion finish on the hub and outer areas for a cleaner, longer-lasting appearance behind your wheels.

Why do Porsche Sport:Z Brake Disc Zimmermann products matter?

Zimmermann Sport:Z Brake Disc discs are a popular upgrade over standard plain discs for Porsche owners who want a more purposeful look and a braking system that copes better with repeated use. The perforated surface assists with expelling gases, dust and surface moisture, helping to keep the pad face cleaner in demanding conditions. Combined with the Coat Z finish, they can refresh both the function and visual impression of the braking system on your Porsche.

• Offer a more sporting appearance behind open-design Porsche wheels
• Help disperse water, brake dust and surface gases from the friction face
• Coat Z finish helps reduce visible corrosion on non-friction areas
• Allow a 1:1 replacement of original discs on compatible Porsche models

When should you review or replace your Zimmermann Sport:Z Brake Disc  brake discs?

Reviewing the condition of your Sport:Z discs periodically is important, especially if your Porsche sees fast-road use or spends time parked outside. Like any disc, they are subject to wear, potential surface corrosion and heat cycling over time, and the perforations can make this more visible as the discs age.

• Existing discs are worn near or beyond the recommended minimum thickness
• You can see cracking, heavy scoring or pronounced lips at the disc edges
• There is obvious corrosion, pitting or flaking around the friction surface or hub
• You notice vibration, pulsing or inconsistent feel under braking

If any of these apply, it is a good time to assess your Sport:Z discs and replace them where necessary so your Porsche remains reassuring and pleasant to drive.
