Anyone use Raybestos brakes?

Need to set a pads and rotors for my 99 it would like to get something with a coating to minimize rust, since it only gets driven a couple thousand miles a year. Looking at the Raybestos element 3 rotors and hybrid pads. Anyone ever use these on anything? I have a set of Duralast gold on my Jeep, but evidently they only make rear rotors in the gold for the Maxima. Which seems odd. Anyway, any recommendations or opinions?
Thx

I put them on my JX35 about 5 years ago. They squeak and the coating isn't doing so good after all the New England winters. I wouldn't buy them again.

My Maxima has all power stop, except the rear rotors are durago. I painted everything myself with high heat paint. I don't drive it in the winter and the brakes look great after 7 years.

Another here that uses the Powerstop z23 pad and rotor kits, and also the Powerstop rear caliper kit. And all Goodrich stainless hoses too.

And never going back to all the others.
