Drilled/slotted Rotors and Ceramic pads question

wetherbymr2 · 05-10-2009, 05:18 PM

I've been looking to replace my OE rotors and keep seeing the following info:

"These rotors also include FREE zinc silver plating which will prevent the rotors from rusting on the hub and vents of the rotors."

Does this hold any truth? will it possibly make the rotors squeel if the plating is there?

a dab of anti-sieze compound on the hub and the $15ish NAPA blank rotors are just as effective and considerably cheaper

well that brake pad will grind away the zinc off so theres no worries their. Also it will help from preventing rust but then again you can just paint the hub part of the rotors.
