Rotor Problem?

Post by -=deathtrap-mx3=- »

first off, these are the problems that make me wish i knew how to work on my own car!!!!!<P>Middle of August: Car taken into shop to make sure everythings perfect before i go the the meet in Dallas<P>5 Days Later: car picked up.<BR> work done: new brake pads, distibutor, cap., valve cover and oil.<BR>-Brakes are horrible and the valve cover doesn't look new- :mad: :mad:<P>2 After Pickup- Drive to Dallas for the meet<P>7 Days after pick up- finally able to drop it off again.<BR> Report: Forgot to put on pads!!(I was PISSED!) :mad:<P>1 Later(picking it up again): Pads are on! brakes still need to be adjusted!!! :mad:<P>7 Days Later: Drop it off again! This time I talk to the manager and he can tell I'm extremley PISSED!!(It took everything in me not to yell) :mad:<P>2 Days Later(Pickup Time): Brakes adjusted. Rotors were worked on. Rust buildup was grinded off.<P>The large time gaps occurred b/c i carpool to school with this guy and he didn't have a car available those days, or I really needed it.<P>3 Weeks later(Today): After heavy rain, rust is all over my rotors!<P>Do I need to have the rotors replaced or is rust safe to have on there? I'm too tired to **** with them.<P>Sorry I needed to vent... :mad:
Looking for a 94+GS for KL-ZE fun :)

the rust on the rotors should be fine. after braking a few times during driving, the rust should be gone.
