Brembo Blanks-Who's got 'em? I found a website that currently has brembo blanks for 49.95 a piece! I'd like to know if they come with some sort of a protection coating on them to resist rust somewhat or are they just like the OEM ones?
Thanks
Thanks

I got a set of Brembo OEM rotors on my car. The center flange is non coated, and they oxidized quickly. I'm sure they would be easy to paint with a little prep work. POR 15 might be a good option.

I've got OEM rotors from 1999 that came with the car and aren't rusting yet. Is it the same type of coating as the original stuff or is there absolutely nothing at all?

I replaced my original rotors late last year with a set of Brembo blanks. I believe they are called Brembo "OEM's", and are basically a stock replacement. The rotors did have a thin coating of protective oil on them, but this has to be removed so you don't contaminate your brake pads. The center section is raw cast iron.

Brembo blanks never have a protective coating beyond the typical greasy stuff you need to remove before installation. And fwiw, Brembo's aren't the same now as they were say 5 years ago.... they keep moving "production" around to save money. The rotors they make now aren't the same as what they had then.
The changes to the rotors, the lack of coating, etc. are all reasons I've moved more and more to the ATE PremiumOne rotors. They are coated to prevent rust (and it works amazingly well). And they are a very high quality rotor, and they don't cost a million bucks either. Fronts are $78 each, rears are $99. A full set is $354.
