So 3 years ago now, I installed Raybestos RPT (now Element 3) front rotors paired with Akebono ProAct pads on a 7th Gen Accord, I remain satisfied with their performance. We don't get heavy salt and sand here, just an occasional liquid brine prep on roads. There's some minor surface rust on the edges, superficial and nothing to affect performance or longevity. And the price was right.
That said, if one lives in the NE or an area with heavy salt and sand and looking for "ultimate" no/low rust performance, the Element3 may not fit the bill.
