So I got some new rims, but my rotors are rusted and as ugly as sin. They still work well, is there anything I can do short of replacing them? And anyone know how to replace them, or where to get rear rotors?

You're from Chicago Hyper, so I would strongly recomend that you do not go with slotted or cross drilled rotors. One of the guys on this site is from Quebec and his were garbage in less than 2 years because of the rust from salt on the roads. Unless you want to go with summer and winter rotors, just buy toyota replacements. I just got done redoing my rears and it was a hell of a job with all the rust. I even had to replace the parking brake shoes and some of the guts as the parting brake parts had seized and killed the pads. Even had one of the caliper bolts break off... what a mess that was.
When you do redo them, tear down all of your parking brake parts, lube the pivots and sliding surfaces, and check to make sure your parking brake cables are not sticking (I still have to replace one of those) otherwise the brake job will not last. Good luck |
