any of you have rusty rotors?

aaaghhh!

unsightly!

what do you do about it??

 

[goofyguy]

drive the car.

If they get wet, even for 30 minutes they will rust. Drive around the block a few times and it will go away.

All brake rotors rust if they're made of mild steel, as most are - rust on the rotor face wears off ASAP, as goofyguy said, and if the rotor edge or hat are rusted, take off your wheels, hit the areas with a wire brush, and shoot them with your choice of spray paint - I use semi-gloss high heat black - gives a clean appearance.

Does anyone know if anyone makes drilled replacement rotors for the Redline? I saw some on Ebay a while back but I dont know who has them.

 

[my_bd]

yeah, the sections where the pads connect are clean of course

its the section beyond the pads, and also the 'hat' area that remain rusty

Jim found us some good Stillen ones, I'm ordering them on Friday! Think I'll need new tires to take real advantage of the new brakes...

Yeah take your wheels off and paint them, thats what im doing soon. New rotors would be cool, but i dont have the kind of money for that right now....i wish cars weren't so damn expensive!!!

Here is a link to the rotors I am gonna get. Better price than the Stillens.

Do you guys think that we will get a longer life out of our brakes. That is the only reason I will get them. The current brakes are real good . They just wear fast. As a matter of fact I dont think those rotors will fall within the rules for my class in solo anyway.

Wow, both are quite expensive. Does anyone know what differences there are between slotted, drilled, and drilled and slotted? I have heard a lot of different arguements going back and fourth about rotors.

 

[linenoyz]

For most street applications (ie a daily driver car), getting drilled, slotted, or drilled+slotted is nothing more than eyecandy. That's it.

Those Rotoras are bad as hell.....I'm fully surprised to see them so cheap - my son checked into a Rotora big brake conversion for his 240SX and it was over $1700...
