The fronts look brand new still, like the day I put them on and seem to be wearing more evenly as well.

Maybe R1 can chime in? I can get some pics up if need be.

The pads have been great as well. Very low dust and make no noise, even in the NY cold weather.
With the black zinc coating, it does tend to fade overtime but still protect the rotor from rust. If you're seeing signs of rust, the coating at the time may have not properly set onto the rotors during the zinc process.. What you can do to prevent the rust is spray black high temp caliper spray paint on that specific area which people have done in the past as an extra layer of coating.
