Rotors I will be getting ready to replace my old rotors and pads. I have the Brembo blanks and they have held up a long time. Just hate I have to paint the hub as they rust real easy. What other brands out there that would be just as good that might have better rust protection? I don't mind spending extra money on a good rotor.

I've had brembo blanks and I concurr they rust really quickly even when they aren't that old. I've since put on ATE premium one rotors. They seem to have a coating of some sort on them to prevent rust. I need to look at them sometime to see how they are holding out. It's been only a year for me though.
I went with ATE because I was interested in a high quality rotor compared to all the cheapo ones going around these days.

since putting the ATE rotors on, i haven't had it shimmy on me while braking for that entire 4 - 5 years.
the coating they put on them also holds up REALLY well...still no rust on the hubs after all that time!

I had Baer drilled/slotted and they warped a small amount early in their life. As far as rust, the cad plating held up for about a year then they started looking pretty bad (my car is a DD). I switched to Centric CryoStop rotors and I'm not happy with them either. Right out of the box the e-coat washed off of one of the inside hubs with brake cleaner. One of the fronts warped enough to make me replace it within the first year of use.
At this point I am seriously considering going back to GM for OEM rotors next time if you can still get them. So I am also very interested in hearing about any good recommendations from others.
