    Any recommendation for a brand of brake disc with the hubs are more resistant to rusting?

    Looking at Pagid, Brembo and Bosch, etc but open to suggestions.

    TIA

    I got Brembo last time and they haven’t rusted.

    There are various grades of Brembo though so I couldn’t say if all models do the same. On parts sites it’s usually listed as a feature.

    To be clear, on the previous discs I had, there was corrosion on the centre of the disc, not on the braking surface obviously. this was visible and looked bad.

    I got rear pagid discs for my mazda 3 last year. I think they are really good and were cheap. They get that superficial rust in seconds but no sign of any permanent corrosion yet. Longest I've gone would have been about 3-4 days without driving.

    You're always going to get the flash surface rust.

    Got Mtec disks before,you can add a coating for the hubs,costs a bit extra but not a lot

    Put zimmermann on the E36 recently - minimal driving done to be honest, but no rust at all.

    Anything that's advertised as 'coated' should be much more resistant than non-coated stuff, normally not much in the price difference so well worth it.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Cheers folks, I have Pagid on the car and the hubs are pretty rusty, I see Brembo do a coated version so will try them.

    Textar would be my choice for disc and pads. Hub and outer edge of disc comes coated
