[QPower1]

Who’s got the best how to do 2015 Touareg brake rotors and pads? I am looking to try this on my T-reg for the first time and I want to probably stay as close to OEM or better. Any recommendations on parts I should get to do this? Any particular rotor or pads y’all could recommend?What other parts or supplies will I need to do a pro job of the brakes?

I got the full rotor and pads kit for my front brakes from FCP Euro. The pads are supposedly OEM and create the most dust I've ever seen. Would not recommend. I replaced rear pads with Z23 Evolution Power Stop carbon fiber ceramic pads and they've been excellent. Very little dust and great stopping power.

For a full rotor and pads change you'll need a 21mm socket and T27 to remove the front rotors and a 14mm triple square bit to remove the rear caliper. Parts wise you'll need the rotors, pads, and new wear sensors for each wheel.
I used this video to replace rear pads.

This is a good video on front brakes and rotors.

I never removed the rear rotors so I can't speak to that complexity with the parking brake but the front is fairly straight forward. Hardest part is finding an impact wrench with a short enough nose to get in behind the rotor. I also found out after the fact that reinstalling the wheels has a special procedure to reduce/eliminate vibration.

You meant to say a T50 torx bit to remove all four rotor retention bolts, a 14mm triple square as the rear caliper bolts, and a 5mm triple square to reuse and reposition the parking brake adjuster port plug to the new rear rotor.

Why do so many people choose zimmerman? just out of curiosity?

Honestly, having sold over 3,000 axle sets of brakes for Touareg/Cayenne/Q7… I keep asking the question!
They don’t avow high carbon iron, a prerequisite for correct material, which is specific to the Brembo designs. I only sell high carbon replacement, and it’s not Zimmerman… I do not recommend Z as high carbon is too important a characteristic to ignore… HC always comes at a premium. Zimmerman is relatively inexpensive.
Just say no… and contact me for a correct spec kit!
