anybody its still have rust spots and its been 3-4 days since it rained and ive been driving it every day. Some one told me that you can only resurface a rotor so much till you need new ones?

when u drive around and apply vrakes, the rust should go away on the surface of the rotor.

I dont know i didnt change the rotors just changed pads. I had the car for about two years never changed the rotors. But this didnt happen before until I got my pads done and they resurfaced my rotors.

and buy a new pair of rotors then...i've never agreed with turning rotors anyways... rotors arn't that expensive either so thats the best idea right now probably |

how long does rotors suppose to last. I was looking through my car and the previous owner changed the rotors 3 years ago and it cost him 100 each.

It could be that your pad on one side isn't touching the rotor all the way. Does it look the same on both sides? IF its only one side, might be a caliper problem, or the rotor is too thin after turning. (Im just trying to come up with why it might do that. Im not a mechanic)

Yes, anything is better than Autozone parts. Seriously, Autozone sucks. I go to Napa, Advanced, and some internet companies.
