where to get rotors that don't rust and lines

Looking to do my rotors and maybe the brake lines as well. I know there are some rotors out there that are made so that the hub areas don't rust. Is that due to zinc plating or something? I don't want bronze colored rotors nor do I want slotted or drilled.

I think I might do the rx7store lines as my brake lines look pretty old and the system needs a good bleeding overall.

Get stainless steel lines.

You need to look for zinc or cadmium-plated rotors. The Tire Rack sells PowerSlot rotors for our cars that are cadmium plated and are slotted (obviously...). There are really no negatives to partially slotted rotors like the PowerSlots.
