Hi Guys,
Today I went for the usual yearly inspection and I was told it would cost around 850$ to replace both front and rear rotor/pads.
My Subaru Impreza rotors are 275mm. Has anyone managed to make a rig to clean the rotors.
What sort of rust do you have on them? Surface rust in bands from the outside and/or inside, or is it under the metallurgically modified layer, coming off in chunks? Either way it's not really a practical fix, but the surface bands have some chance to be taken care of, but step one is gonna be to find the discard thickness and see if there's anything to work with. If you have to cut it to discard, but not thinner, the useful service life is going to be aboout to the end of the driveway. How much can you save? And with either case, the pads are junk. They're not gonna go (well) against a new surface. ABS, traction control, and manual braking on wet/winter roads gets wierd with the friction balances not being what they once were.
