Replacement rotors and pads for X coupe

For those with X coupes. What is a good replacement option for rotors and pads? My Oem stuff is getting really rusty, although the brakes are at 50% life left, everything looks ****ty. Is there a good rotor that is zinc plated? Or has a painted hub?

My other question, every time I go to work in the morning and back out of the garage my brakes squeak. I read a few articles that say it's normal, but it didn't always do that.

Thanks in advance

As far as squeaking, probably need to grease all metal-on-metal moving caliper parts w/ CRC caliper grease.

Our Centric rotors work really well as a step above oem. Coated in black so the hats/fins do not rust and castings are nicer also. Paired with a nice set of ceramic pads (low dust and noise) you'll have a great dd street set up.
