Wondering how many of you use coated rotors (zinc) or just plain rotors? I'm not looking at performance rotors and understand the zinc coating just helps with keeping the rotors from rusting, so they look better longer. Salt is used on the roads where I live for ~6 months of the winter season, so the rears take a beating. I'd be interested in hearing from the people in the northern regions where salt is used on the road. Just wondering if you feel it's worth spending the extra dollars on coated? Do you feel you get better longevity from a rear brake job? There is a ton of material remaining on my pads but the inner and outer part of the rotors have corroded, so that the pads touching those parts are not really effective and are causing a similiar wear pattern on the pads.
