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

Experience race-inspired stopping power with Porsche sports brake discs from Design911. Designed for performance driving, these upgraded brake rotors provide greater heat dissipation, improved bite, and enhanced fade resistance, ensuring confidence under even the most demanding conditions.
What They Are & What They Do
Sports brake discs (or rotors) are precision-engineered
components that work with brake pads to generate friction and stop the car
effectively. Unlike standard discs, sports variants are often drilled, grooved,
or slotted, helping to vent heat and gases, improve braking response, and
maintain consistent performance during high-speed or repeated stops.
Why They Fail
Over time, brake discs wear down from heat cycles, friction,
and corrosion. Common signs of failure include scoring, warping, cracking, or
vibration during braking. Track use or aggressive driving can accelerate wear,
while low-quality discs may develop hotspots and fade under stress.
Why They Should Be Replaced
Replacing worn or damaged brake discs restores optimal
braking efficiency, pedal feel, and vehicle control. New sports discs not only
improve performance and safety but also extend pad life and reduce fade,
ensuring Porsche’s legendary stopping precision. Design911 offers genuine
Porsche discs for factory performance and aftermarket upgrades for enhanced
durability and responsiveness.
Whether you’re restoring a classic 911 or tuning a Cayman or
Taycan for track use, our range of sports discs combines precision,
reliability, and performance to keep your Porsche braking like new.
