need new rotors

Currently using Zimmerman drilled rotors that need to be replaced. Looking for something with the hub coated so no oxidation is visable. I track the 1999 often. Any suggestions?

I just bought cadmium plated zimmerman cross drilled rotors for my MY97 from an ebay seller with this web site: www.gforcebrakes.com

Cadmium plating is supposed to inhibit rust on the hats and outside edges of the rotors.

Others here have bought whatever they liked (aftermarket-wise) and masked off the rotors and sprayed the hats with high temp silver or gray paint and then mounted them.

I have the stock 987 setup on my 986. Every thing is a straight forward bolt on. No mods needed. You get the 987 cross drilled rotors and pads.

The rears you would need to order aftermarket cross drilled rotors as the stock 987 rotors do not fit.
