Mazda 3 Rotors

I have a Black 2005 Mazda 3 HB with 225/40R18 Tires and Rims, AEM CAI and Elite Customs Catback system. I love my car, but my rotors seem to get rusty very quickly.

I live in Los Angeles, so it's not like it can be blamed on the weather/climate. Anyone have any suggestions on some great After market rotors that won't rust. I would also like to find some Red Brembo Calipers any info from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here's a link to the brembo kit for the 3. It's pricey and it's fronts only but they do more than 90% of the work anyway.

All rotors are going to rust so there isn't too much point in finding ones that won't. If it's just rust on the face then it will go away as soon as you hit the brakes the first couple of times. Also just because you're in Cali. doesn't mean there isn't enough moisture in the air to make them rust overnight... it's very common. If it's rust around the edges or around the rotor hub then you can get some caliper paint and paint the edges/hub to help protect them.
