Rusted Rotora's
is anyone using the Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotorra front rotors? How are you keeping the Holes, the slots and the part of the rotor that the pads dont touch from rusting?

I thought rotora doesnt make cross drilled rotors, only slotted. If that is the case, it was aftermarket drilled, and the zinc coating was taken off when they got drilled, so they are going to rust.

I communicated directly with Rotora and asked them if they made crossdrilled rotors themselves and the answer is : They actually make 3 different models : slotted only, cross drilled only, and combo (cross drilled + slotted)
They are made in house at Rotora, not by another tier.
They are "e-coated" which is very good as a primer, but not very good on it's own against rust. I painted mine with anti-rust paint and so far so good

Here's Some Bull For Ya Guys.......i Ordered Some Brembo Front And Rear Rotors For My 01' Cl-s........had A Brake Shop Install Them, And They Put Brake Cleaner All Over The Rotors....in Which Took Off All Of The Zinc Coating! Man I Got Mad, Waited A Month For Them To Come In.......but All Was Well, They Paid For A New Set....with Overnite Shipping!

LOL at how off track this thread has become.
There's not a lot you can do about the the rust man. Afterall it is just a casting and while the "e-coating" looks nice when the rotors are brand new it doesn't do much in the long run.
And just to confirm for all the naysayers... yes Rotora does make slotted, drilled, and a combination of the two. All in house and the drilled rotors are cast that way, not drilled later.
