My 745 had zero rust on the Zimmermans with the Z coating after 2 years. I live in Kentucky and we see snow and salt also.....probably not your amount of snow but we do get some.

Fcpeuro for me too. Mine were in great shape until I totalled my car (not because of brakes but an idiot who didn't yield to traffic). But now I'm in an F02 so I guess it worked out
