Should your new rotors have rust on them?
New rotors can sometimes have surface rust due to exposure to moisture and air during storage or shipping. This rust is typically superficial and can be removed through normal braking action. However, if the rust is extensive or affects the rotor's performance, it's advisable to consult a professional or consider replacing them. Always inspect new rotors before installation to ensure they meet safety standards.

Why do brake rotors wear?
Brake rotors wear because during use, brake pads are pushed against them while the rotors are turning. It's the friction between the moving part and the staationary part that slows the vehicle down. Pads wear too, usually quicker. Brake rotors wear due to use, they are considered a service item.
What is the main benefit of EBC rotors?
EBC rotors are a good choice for their easy installation process, performance, and fit. You can read reviews at http://www.ebcbrakes.com/reviews/3gd_sport_rotors-reviews.shtml.
How many rotors should you buy?

What causes brakes to shudder and how can this issue be resolved?
Brakes shudder due to uneven wear or warping of brake rotors. This can be resolved by resurfacing or replacing the rotors, and ensuring proper installation and maintenance of the brake system.
How much contact should new front disc breaks have with rotors?
new pads should have full surface contact with rotors,as should old ones
Does the specs on the rear rotor of the 2003 pt cruiser have factory groves for the pads?

What are the benefits of using Shimano rotors with centerlock technology for my bike?
Using Shimano rotors with centerlock technology on your bike provides several benefits. These rotors are known for their easy and secure installation, which helps ensure proper alignment and reduces the risk of rotor loosening during rides. Additionally, centerlock technology allows for quick and tool-free rotor changes, making maintenance more convenient. Overall, Shimano rotors with centerlock technology can enhance your biking experience by improving performance and efficiency.
Why does your 5 series BMW shake when coming to a stop?
When it comes to all cars if a vibration is felt during braking you should check the front rotors for run out (uneven wear).Replace the rotors and pad. BMW doesnt recommend resurfacing.
What is a ceramic brake?
The pads that do the braking against the rotors are ceramic instead of asbestos.
