Brakes...new rotors...RUSTED
Guys, I just paid for a new brake system and I got new rotors on the front. I have had them for about 3 weeks and it has been raining here for about the last week. Now the rotors have rust all over them. Is this normal??
The rust is also making the brakes sqeak when I come to a stop It never did this before. So the judder is gone, but replaced with rust and squeaks. Dang, I can't win

I occassionally feel the 'squeal' but it goes away after two or three stops from 35mph or higher.
I would say not big deal (other than cosmetically).

Ditto, it'll go away after a couple of stops. Well, at least until the next time there's a lot of moisture and your car sits for a while.

Just curious, didn't you have this problem with the preceeding set of rotors? Or possibly you are just paying alot more attention since dropping the $$$?

But, after you spend cash on a mod or anthing else on my car, I always be more attention. I just was not expecting to pay this much for brakes - new rotors on front, machined on the back, new pads all the way around, etc. Not a good time around the holidays for a $500 suprise.
