In the past year my S3 has been left standing even more as i'm using the train to commute. My rear brake discs are sufffering quite heavily from rust on the face, i understand some manufacturers coat their discs to prevent this. What brand should i be going for ? i've always used mintex in the past.

Regards

ATE brakes, which I have bought from Camberley Auto Factors in the past (these are the standard Audi ones so I was told) come with this weird grey painted coating which stops the other parts of the brakes disc from corroding. I've had them for years now and still no rust.

Obviously they don't help with disc face corrosion because the coating comes off after a few braking applications!
