Just my experience. On a 2 day track event at Reno Fernley last year, I tracked the car on each of those rain soaked days. Afterward, I drove back through the snowy Sierra Nevadas on the way home. I never saw any rust whatsoever on my brake rotors afterward. I did find out how bad water and PFC97 brake dust interact with each other though. I spent days cleaning the caked on brake dust off off my wheels. The only thing that happened to the rotors is the Made in Germany stickers actually peeled off.

On my daily driver (Civic), my brembo rotors are always looking a bit rusty.

Just based on price alone, I'd stick with the OEM ones from Sunset imports. Much cheaper than going with the Brembo ones from Tire Rack.

 

Oh, I got all excited - then realized you were talking about solid rotors. I'm so used to people mentioning Brembo and referring to their slotted/dimpled rotors.

Personally, I don't think I'd ever use a standard solid rotor that costs amost twice as much as OEM.

I noticed you salivating all over my Brembos on the X5 the other night

 

+1, drilled + vented OEM for less than solid vented... makes no sense just for the name.
