STOP TECH vs ROTORA Rotors

I am planning to upgrade my rotors and pads.
Going with Hawk Ceramic Pads, but dont know which rotors to go with.
I did search the forum and found out that STOP TECH rotors rust? what about ROTORA rotors? do the rust too? Also where can i get these setups. I called several shops but they dont answer the damm phone.
I cant stand the stock rotors as they vibrate like ****. Help me decide on rotors. THanks~~~~~~!!!!!!

I have the stoptech along with many members on here.

The inner 1/4" of the face of the rotor doesnt make contact with the pad so it gets rusty.

What i did was paint the centers of the rotors and let the paint get up onto the face a little bit, just enough to cover the part that rusts.

After the first drive the leftover paint gets burnt off frm the pad.

I have the StopTech as well. Fronts been on a while. Just got the rears after a long back and forth as to what to do about the rust ring. I am masking the rears off to paint the area that will get surface rust with a clear hi-temp paint. I didn't want to paint them black as it will make the rotors look smaller. Will post up when get pictures.

The Rotora are suppose to be clear zinc coated, but someone with them will have to post up to verify. I also think they are a lot more than StopTechs.

For the StopTechs, check with the vendor section on the forum. US Autotek had them in stock an usually reply via IM pretty quickly.
