I have power stop rotors on the front with Autozone's duralast GT street pads. They call the pads "street" but they have a LOT of dust & they squeal when you hit the brakes until they get warmed up. I always hit the brakes kinda hard as soon as I take off & the don't squeal after that.
Now on a track, they are amazing! They aren't hawk pads by any means, but they aren't far off and for $100 with a lifetime warranty it was a no brained for me.

Mine is a daily driver except when the roads are salted and is not garaged. The hats have not rusted at all. My original rotors rusted so I cleaned and painted them and they still started to rust. If I remember they are zinc coated.

the edge of the rotor hats were starting to rust a little.
And the only reason they probably started to rust was because my car sits out in the elements all year.

I’m sold on these, will have to wait until Spring when I can break them in after the install, or I can just install them and wait to break them in when weather permits.

These are brakemotive zink coated rotors. Only one season old but they still look new. The car is only driven occasionally. I also have their ceramic pads. No complaints for street use and a great price.

I expected less and got more. I expected rust by now but none. I expected heavy dusting but also got very little. Can't see any ware. Called bang for the buck.

I installed mine in 2011. Just this past summer I repainted them because
the edge of the rotor hats were starting to rust a little.
And the only reason they probably started to rust was because my car sits out in the elements all year.
