Zinc plated, or zinc alloy?
If plated I wouldn't bother. I probably wouldn't bother anyhow. I live where they don't salt, and 1 day of sitting and my TSX has rust spots on the rotors.
Why does your 5 year old vehicle need new rotors? I'd expect many more miles than that unless I raced, or otherwise spent hours in stop and go driving every day.
For cars I intend to keep long term, I generally find the cheapest ceramic pads I can online. Sometimes I'll see a deal on pads online and order them ahead of needing to replace.
