zimermann brake disks

i picked up the fronts a few days ago, and will pick up the rears on friday. And I will install them in the next couple of days unless someone here gives me a good reason not to.

I debated on getting zimmerman vs brembo when my rears went. I wasn't sure if it was worth the extra amount (alot extra) to get the zimmermans. Now, i have shitty brembo stock disks on my rears and they are already rusted after ~6 months of use.... I'm curious to know whether or not the zimmermans have a coated center hub to protect it from rusting.

some brembo's have a coated center hub.. as far as i was concerned, they are both the same(if you get comparable ones) but i have only tried zimmerman and they were excellent

the zimermann's have a zinc coating, but that only does so much, depending on the climate you live in.
