Thread: Meyle Rotors

    Meyle Rotors

    Went through a bit of an ordeal with a vendor trying to get Zimmerman rotors, but ended up just getting Meyles after much delay. I know some other Meyle parts are seen as being lower quality, but does it really matter for rotors? Wanted to get some thoughts before installing.

    Thanks

    This. From some articles and videos I've seen, rotor quality definitely matters.

    I'm not sure about Meyle specifically, but I imagine you'd be fine daily driving it.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    I read from someone Meyle rotors weren’t great, but that person IIRC was an elitist jackass. I’m using Centric (StopTech’s non-slotted/non-drilled) rotors in the back and they’ve been great so far. Not sure I could get anything near this quality for the price.

    Meyle is fine by me ,I’ve got a set on the ZHP because they were available at the time and I figured they were gonna get flogged anyhow.

    They are used with street pads and when i go to an event I put the track pads on and bed them.

    I have 4 track days 1 auto-x and multiple mountain runs on the same Meyle rotors I drive to work with everyday.

    I had rear Meyle coated rotors paired with OE Textar pads on my e39 530i. I bought them from FCP Euro and put around 16-17k miles on them before I sold the car, didn't have any problems with them.

    Even found an old pic.
