do these rotors rust? or do they have the circle cap that goes in the center to cover the rust?

Only the part that the pad touches will rust but that will go away once u hit the brakes.. some do get a rust ring near the center where the pad doesn't touch.. it depends on the bracket.. some mount them lower and some mount them a lil higher creating the rust ring..

I'm saying where the pad doesn't touch the face of the rotor will rust and stay on the face of the rotor because the pad doesn't take it off when the brakes are applied.. It happens near the center just off the black center hub..

Can I get two different delivered prices to 92336?

1. 50th Anniversary Calipers, Slotted Rotors, SS Lines, Posi Quiet Pads

2. Infiniti Calipers, Slotted Rotors, SS Lines, Posi Quiet Pads

On top of me buying the kit, can you also give me a price for just the calipers? I'll be buying the complete kit and an extra set of calipers. Thanks.

The "Infiniti" on the Akebonos is painted, so I doubt the "Nissan" is a sticker
