I bought a pair of fronts similar to these from a company in TX... They are true Brembos, but drilled and CNC'd by a machine shop. They probably stop just as well as drilled Brembos but for cheaper... I've had them on for about 4 months and they work great. As for rusting, any metal will rust eventually, even if it starts out with a Zinc coating. I'd say go for it, but IMHO you only need the front pair.

Thats a good price...however I would be careful about cross drilled rotors that are drilled after the rotor itself is already made. These rotors are weaker and have a higher tendancy to crack. The best cross drilled rotors are ones that have the holes cast into them while the rotor is being cast/made whatever. These rotors don't lose any sort of strength so the chances of them cracking are slim.
If you want some cheap brake upgrades, I'd look into getting just some slotted rotors and better brake pads. The whole point about getting slotted/drilled rotors is to allow the brakes to better dissipate heat so your brakes don't feel all mushy after a period of hard braking.

As for those Brembo's, I would be a bit careful about getting them since they are not drilled and slotted by Brembo.

Im getting ready to replace my brakes and rotors, but have no clue which ones to go with yet. Someone told me to get the dimpled rotors, the ones that arent all the way drilled out, because he said they tend to crack where they are drilled all the way through. I dont know though, I know I need some brakes and rotors though, I have the same problem. Mine are warped and rusted, matches my car but, we dont want rusty rotors ! Yuck !
