I'm starting to get fedup with all the rust I have to fight through in every brake job.

Is it worth it to spend the following money to spruce them up and make my life easier in the future (only at 70k so plenty of brake jobs in my future.) Stainless lines (may as well since I'll have calipers off) either replace seals on calipers or get new calipers for ones that are getting too old, thoroughly sand, wire brush, clean everything and paint, and get some sort of coated rotors (powerslot, brembo whatever.

I think that getting everything in pristine shape, cleaning it properly and getting a good heat paint coating on there to protect along with rust-proof rotors would do wonders.

What do you with such ameneties think? Worth all the dough?

 

It all rusts, even the coated rotors. The paint will help a bit, but if you have aggressive pads everything will look like crap anyways.

IMO it's a lost cause.

 

Agreed. It doesn't really matter what you get. After 60-70K miles everything gets so coated with brake dust and grime that it pretty much goes to crap no matter what. I suppose you could clean the brakes every 10K or so if it's that much of a bother to you.
