I installed Zimmerman Cross-drilled rotors and Mintex "Red Box" pads 10 months and 20,000 miles ago, although on a 9-5.
No problems with the rotors warping. Pads produce much less dust. Braking is excellent. Only issue I had was with loud annoying brake squeal that developed after 10,000 miles. Cause of problem was the Tire Tech(?) who rotated my wheels and WAY over torqued them. After correcting the over torquing problem my brakes have been silent again.
Regardless of what rotors you choose, I have a suggestion. Buy a can of brake rotor or brake drum paint, and paint the "hat or hub area" of the rotors before you install them. This will eliminate most/all of the visible rusting. You can also paint the outer edge if you wish, but DON'T paint the pad sweep area of the rotor or plug the ventilation openings with excessive paint.
