What do you guys do for the rust that builds up on your rotors???I hate when my car and wheels are sparkling clean and you look through the spokes on the wheels and there's that nasty rust build up on the rotors...Has anyone sanded them a bit a hit them with some paint or something??

 

you can sand them down a bit and pray them with high temp paint, if your rotor need to be replace then go with stoptech kit since they came painted hub in black, Adam rotor is another option and they both are vendor here for this forum.

 

+1

 

If you paint them it will look a little bit better. If the pad is smaller than the rotor then you'll see that ring every time they get wet.

 

Brakemotive also offers zinc coated rotors which don't rust. I have them and love them.

See?

^I was looking into the brakemotice rotors and pads for my 2007 TL are they legit? I think I got quoted 160 shipped for a complete set seems kind of to good to be true. You thoughts?

 

I thought the same thing but there are so many people he has sold to and so many positive things I had to try it out.

My first set of front rotors had a vibration problem but after contacting him he agreed to send me another set and these are problem free, he has excellent customer service and ships very quick.

I think they look and perform great. Many members on this side have them, even the Type-S guys and they speak highly of them too.

 

brakemotive here as well. no issues so far.

 

Could you point me into the right direction to these vendors for Brakemotiv. My stock rotors right now have a ring thats getting thicker, its on the outter side i guess from the pad not touching till the outside?

Also the stock rotors rust up when i wash my car and goes away after.

 

How much did they cost? 4 rotors and brake pads?

 

^i got my set for a type-s for like $165 and then did a review on them and got $30 off so...$135 for a complete set.

but that was a while ago so idk what the prices are like now.

 

Is there a link or a name to look up for this deal?
I been looking around and seen only a few sites, but your deal was like 50% of what I added in the shopping carts

http://www.carid.com/
http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A3068A0A0.aspx
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/
Not sure if anyone heard of these sites? ^

 

^go to the vendor and sponsored sales section of the forum.

guys im sorry if this is off topic, but whats the name of those rims?? thx

 

Thank you. It was the TOP one lol!! Do you suggest going with ceramic brake pads that they say it comes with? I read that it wares down the rotor faster? Does it feel better then stock? Or less stopping power?

 

forgestar f14. but don't get them. they suck.

yeah just get the standard package. it stops the same as stock, they just look nicer behind the wheels. make sure you swap out your brake fluid too with motul 5.1

that will be more of an improvement than rotors/pads.

i like the rotor package like i said. no problems.

 

^^^

 

Oh thanks for the heads up on the brake fluids, totally didnt think of changing that also.
Ill have to look up DIY and research how much and where to buy motul 5.1
They sell at like napa or orileys something like those stores?

 

^gotta buy it online. amazon, etc. just it.

you need 3 500ml bottles for a full flush. you'll have some left over too.

 

Thank you bro, your the man!

 

 

Aaron wins the interwebs LOL

I personally would go with the Motul RBF600 or the ATE Super blue, but the Motul 5.1 work just fine, if not better

and do get those F14's they are on sale

 

thanks for the mention.

every set of adam's rotors comes with complimentary silver zinc.
it's a great way to avoid rust growth & corrosion on no pad contact areas.

we also have over 13 patterns, 5 hub coatings, and 3 zinc finishes as well!

here's just a few options from our catalog...
feel free to check out our running threads here on AZ or our website.

our gold zinc finish [dimpled/slotted shown]:


our silver zinc in AR speed [NEW multi-slot!]:

[must be ordered with painted hubs]

AR sport I's [over-dimple]:

[must be ordered with painted hubs]

AR sport II's [over-slot]:

AR street [double slot/drill]:

For Hawaii Motul RBF600 might be the better choice. Very high WET boiling point and as far as I know it never gets very cold. Both the 5.1 and 600 are on each extreme of the viscosity spectrum.

 

^^^ IHC, I am a fan on RBF600 ....recently I have heard great things about ATE Super Blue...how would you compare that to the RBF600 or the Motul 5.1?

 

Could I find the Motul RBF600 at Napa or Orileys you think? Or just on amazon online.
If not in local stores whats the next best thing?
Sorry so late, but im doing the bleed today lol
Thank you
