Brake Parts Soruce

bjbstewart · 02-04-2014, 12:28 PM

I saw an ad in the BMWCCA magazine a few months ago for a company called "Zeckhausen Racing". I went to the website, but couldn't find anything listed for a Z4M (lots of 2.5 and 3.0 stuff listed).

I decided to email them about replacement rotors for our Z4M's, and got a response. This link has pads, rotors, wear sensors, lines, and BBK's listed.

anyone heard of them or used them?

Used them in the past-- they're legit and respected, great if you need someone knowledgable to talk to on the phone.

However, if you're buying Centric parts, I've found them to generally be the cheapest through RockAuto. Hawk pads appear to be about as cheap through TireRack as anywhere else, so it's worth shopping around.

I used to buy from them. No more. I had a problem with fitment on pads once and was told by the mfr that what I was sold would never work on the car. When I tried to send them back to ZR for a replacement on something that would work they told me "this is the first I've heard of it, it must be your fault" and refused to exchange or refund. Luckily the mfr stepped in and sent me different pads gratis that worked out great. Two contrasting tales of customers service.

Yes, I purchased my CDV from them. Great mod to the clutch hydraulic line. No problems.

Very well respected and used by the M5 crowd when I had one. Have purchased almost all of my brake system parts for multiple BMW's from them for the last 5-6 yrs. and have never had an issue. Somethings can probably be found for less other places but they are usually very competitive.
Dave Zeckhausen is very knowledgeable about brakes and is a true enthusiast. Don't hesitate to use them if they have what you're looking for.

I got replacement rotor rings as well as pads for my Brembos through Zeckhausen. The owner seems pretty knowledgeable and nice. I'm surprised to hear about the bad experience above though
