Default so your's DID start rusting, huh?

just like mine. luckily for me they aren't squealing though. i used high-temp paint (silver) to paint the hub portion of the rotor to reduce rust.

Default My Neuspeed slotted rotors are resisiting rust quite well, they have a coating which helps...

And they do squeel now and then, seems like moreso when they warm up. Batches!

Default that's ok...the rust is quickly scraped off after any braking.

it'd look better if there was no rust though...oh well. i still like 'em.
