New Rotors ...

Anyone use any kind of anti seize compound on the new rotors to prevent the suckers from seizing onto the hub?

I just sprayed some lube onto the hub.

Silicone which I had laying around, I'm sure brake grease will work well too. I know silicone will eventually rinse off, but the rotor sticking to the hub is just more anger release for me.

i have never had a rotor freeze to a hub and the fact is all it takes is a few hits from the backside if it ever does.

just clean it off with sandpaper and apply copperslip (most parts stores should carry it. And then also clean the rim till you see silver. That way you don't get vibrations as it will be perfectly seated and that way you'll make your rotors last their normal lifespan without warping. Applying copperslip on the rim as well is recomended so both on hub and the mating surfae to wheel.
However DO NOT EVER apply antiseize on wheel studs. Not only that you will overtorque it unevenly but the nuts could back out too and off falls your wheel
