Default good prices for pads & rotors

FYI... doing my front brakes for the first time on my 987 base (2008). Found great prices (best I could find anywhere including Suncoast, Sunset) at

https://www.rmeuropean.com/
$187 shipped for both front rotors, Zimmerman Coat Z rotors.

https://www.delawareporscheparts.com/
$137 shipped for front pads
(They also had a great price for Porsche rotors but elected not to go with them).

Are those aftermarket rotor hats primed?

FCP Euro will provide free replacements on rotors and pads.

These rotors are 'coated'. From my research the coating seems to work well to prevent rusting of the hats.

I paint my rotors all the time now. I stopped taping them off. The first use takes care of it.
