What has anyone heard about the Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors with the Mintex pad package, offered from newandusedvolvoparts.com and on ebay.com? They seem to be a fairly good deal, but are they reliable?

They were a contender in my decision making process, but I was concerned that they were drilled all the way through. The Brembos I ordered are slotted, but are only partially drilled-in (not drilled though...kindof like dimples?). One nice feature of the Brembos are they are Zinc-coated to fight rust. Look at your rear rotors and you will see a significant amout of rust in the center area...a zinc coating will keep them shining like new.

Your opinions?

Zimmerman cross-drilled plus Mintex...Yeah -or- Neah?
