Zinc Stoptech rotors

I'm looking at Stoptech replacement rotors for a stock Brembo setup. I'm in New England and the Zinc coated rotors are pretty much a requirement due to the crappy winters.

On the Stoptech site, Zinc rotors are an option for all the BBKs they offer.
I did not see Zinc coatings offered for the direct replacement Aero rotors or for the direct replacement "SportStop" standard rotors. Is this a special order and can the distributers work with Stoptech to order this?

I am considering zinc aero rotors front and zinc standard rotors in the rear.

Thanks

The zinc plating is available on our 2 peice rotors only. We offer the zinc to prevent a dissimilar metal rection occurring in high salt enviroments between the iron of the rotor and the aluminum of the hat. Our one peice rotors have a high temp black epoxy on the hat and vane areas of the rotor to prevent surface rust on those areas. The zinc plating will wear away on the rotor face wher the pads come into contact with the rotor leaving the gray iron showing below. The zinc will stay on the vane area of the rotor but will not be visible on the car.
