Most companies that sell rotors on ebay, such as irotors and R1 offer rotors that are zinc coated.

 

thanks, but no thanks. read some bad things about this R1 stuff on here.

I think I am just going to save up some money and go for the G37 BBK upgrade. it seems most aftermarket rotors need to be painted to avoid the "rust belt". just got off the phone with DBA and they have the same issue as Stoptech with their replacement rotors.

 

almost any rotor you buy, other than OEM, will likely need some paint to prevent rust between the hat and where the pads actually touch the rotors. But you will pay a lot more for OEM rotors, unless you upgrade to a BBK of course.

 

thinking about upgrading to the OEM G37S BBK.

 

right. But when you go to buy non OEM rotors for the G37 brakes, you're probably going to have to paint them too if you don't want a rust ring. Don't get me wrong, your car will look better with the G37 brakes.

 

With a two piece rotor you shouldn't get any rust between where the caliper sits and the hat. You should look into the Megans, $3000 for something much better than the G37 brakes.

I've had mine on for a year, no rust.

 

I have seen rust bands between the pad area and the hat on two piece rotors.

 

My EBC rotors are coated...and doesn't have a rust around the hub or in the "rust band"

 

+2, Stoptech BBK's.

 

Well, I don't have any room between the caliper and the hat..

 

nice looking setup, but I am not a fan of the blue color caliper. I see where you have no "rust belt"

are those Work Equip?

 

^^Thanks.

No, they're Seva S-Stars but I'm looking to get some new, better quality wheels. I'm kinda bored of these now.

 

 

Folks what do you mean by the Roton HAT area?

On my OEM rotor on my 05 G I have rust in the middle of the rotor is that where you call the HAT?

So I'm not understanding why you guys are saying OEM rotors don't rust. Can someone explain with a picture please?

Thanks

 

[QUOTE=white_gts]Folks what do you mean by the Roton HAT area?

- the unswept area of the rotor that mounts to hub of the wheel and back of wheel mounts up against. hope that helps.

- if these are OEM, there should not be any rust, unless paint is worn off.

- OEM should not have any rust issues.
