after it rains, my breaks are colored rust....

i think it's called the rotors. last night and early this morning, we had some major down pour. when all rain was done, i went to my car and the breaks are rust colored...the rotors...the big discs. do any of you have this same condition after it rains? is anything wrong with this?

It's normall for all stock rotors. dont worry about it. after you drive a little bit, it will look normall.

Again, very normal- like after you wash your car, same thing.

Only time it becomes an issue, is if the car has been sitting a long time (at a car dealer lets say)- sometimes the rotors need to be cut down a bit.
