You just cleaned the protective coating off of them, that is all. ALL rotors will rust when not driven for a few days. Just what happens to unprotected machined steel when left out in the elements

 

^^ I cleaned off... nickel... with dawn dish soap?

 

Now you know why grease has no chance against the powa of Dawn! lmao.gif

But i think its zinc, not nickel.

 

^^You're right.

 

no complaints with these rotors fitment was great, same with the pads they came with. install was a b*tch though, my rotors were rusted on so damn good, i had to beat them with the back of an axe to get them off lmao

 

Yea i wouldn't reccommend that, I had the same problem was about to bust out the acet torch, my buddy hit it with a hammer one last time broke the spindle assembly right off mad.gif

 

Whenever I bring a car home I take the calipers off and reinstall with antiseize. Then take the rotors off and spray the assembly behind with some flat black paint. Ive torched a rotor off before though. Noone that buys my cars will ever have trouble with a brake job.

 

ya i anti siezed everything and god damnit i never thought of using torches.
