Back in July c6Firstvette posted removing rust from his rotors and the process also coated them with zinc phosphate.I'm wondering how they held up,am thinking about doing the same, Thanks.

If I were going to de-rust the rotors, I guess now would be the best time. Sure would appreciate some assistance, though.

Several weeks ago I saw an ad while surfing for brake rotors that said theirs were already coated and the rotor vanes and "hat" wouldn't rust. Now I can't find it. Does anybody know where to get already-coated rotors? It's not that I'm lazy, well not the only reason, but my rheumatoid arthritis precludes me from turning wrenches to high torque numbers. Therefore, if I can buy them I can get my mechanic to install them for me.
Hope this isn't a hijack, but it seems somewhat related! Thanks!

Never heard of sandblasting your rotors and did not think it was a good idea
Espically brand new ones.

I pmed C6firstvette and asked him how what he did held up.
So i bought a gallon and soaked my new ones
Now i have to wait untill the spring to drive it and see how it holds up!
We got over 1 ft of snow here today
