Your right ... but, from what I have seen, those all rust and look like crap (just like the OEM rotors) after awhile.

I am now sold on the zinc plated rotors

I had Centrics on my old C5Z which were zinc coated. So yes, that's a prerequisite for me as well.

Still on my OEM C6Z rotors (17K miles), but when I'm ready to replace, it will be one of three I listed. I really like DBA's.

Only thing I don't care for with the DBA's is they are not drilled.

I checked DBA's website...there's a plethora of options. Again, KNS brakes (a supporting sponsor here) should be able to get you just about anything that you'd want.

Mike...I have the PowerStops front rotors and I don't have rust problems with them. However, I do park the Z in the garage. Slotted and drilled. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...pt=1896&jsn=31

I think I have it narrowed down to either the Stop Tech drilled and slotted high carbon 127 or the DBA 4000 series drilled and slotted. Any input guys?

Up to you ...

but the BrakeMotive rotors are a hell of a lot cheaper .. are of as good of quality .. and the rotor hats don't rust or turn dark brown after awhile
