Many miles ago I went w/ the Zimmerman Formula Z coated disc/rotors front and rear. Rust and corrosion are reduced, imo. They still are clean looking. Some have posted reduced stopping distances/times. Heck, if it is, it's imperceivable to me; not an issue. I also slapped on Akebono EURO ultra-premium brake pads. I thinks it's a pretty darn good combo. Bought everything on line and pd. indi to install. Cost/value very good, imo. Just my opinion, pls. note, not an endorsement.

PS--I have chrome wheels, so the reduced brake dust is evident and a real blessing.

Rotors and pads, hmm your pricing seems very reasonable for the DIYer.
