you can prevent it from using brake cleaner and also keeping the rotors clean from water
most rust on rotors come from pudles and washing the car

unless ur rotors are zinc plated or something of the sort they'll rust..no way preventing it..your pads will scrape off the rust anyways though
if ur brakes feel spongy you might need to bleed the brakes

looks good
yes, the zinc plating does help against the "rust look"
I've had my zinc plated iRotors rotors on for 6 months now, and they still look great
I go out the next day after it's rained and see everyones rusty rotors and mine are still shiny silver

ding, sent PM
I'm not sure how they compare to Brembos since I've never had them.
But these stop really well compared to the stocks....but then again, any new pads/rotors should stop better compared to 5-6yr old brakes
