Rotors are metal...they get wet...they rust.
You got a credit where you shouldn't have...So what's the problem?
Get over it and grow the f&$% up.

Wow, I don’t have to say a word; you all did it for me. When I purchased my Durastops the first thing I did was take them over to my local plating shop and had them Zinc plated. They're holding up just fine.

Sounds like WCC gave you more than you deserved. Stock rotors show rust everytime you wash the car, it's a fact of life. Don't blame WCC because you don't know this.
AND STOP YELLING!! It's annoying.

Similar experience with WCC. Good vendor! As has been stated numerous time, rotors rust. If you don't want rust, drive it and use your brakes!

I agree with the consensus that WCC went beyond what they had to. There is no guarantee they won't rust, did you ever look at your rotors after your car is washed? When I installed the GM/AC rotors I painted all exposed surfaces before installation with rotor paint. They have held up perfectly rust-wise. Now, I had a front rotor crack, but that's another issue.

When you type in all caps - you are yelling....that's what you're being yelled at for! Also - IMHO, WCC did a very nice thing and demonstrated why they are considered one of the best vendors, by many around here.
Caveat Emptor - Buyer beware. Were you told that the rotors were zinc plated? Were you promised they wouldn't rust? I'm sure not. Next time do your research before pulling the trigger on the purchase. There have been tons of threads on replacement brake rotors here, try searching the archives and previous posts if you seek information on anything that you want to buy. Chances are very good that someone before you made a similar purchase. Good luck.

Sounds like West Coast went over and beyond what they needed to do to keep a customer happy. unfortunately, you're now slamming them because you have no knowledge of the procuct that you purchased 
. Sounds like you may not be a customer that West Coast needs. I know the items I purchased from them came as advertised and I'm extremely pleased with thier products.

Sorry for your issue, but the confusion that caused that is all rotors rust - unless they are zinc washed, and even then there can be some spot rusting.
Baer rotors are zinc washed (as are some other manufactures). Many of us on the Forum use them.
Hope that your resolution is acceptable in the long term.
