Once i put my 18s on, I saw tons of rust on the 2 rear brake areas. It's like between the rim and the rotors...im not sure if thats the hub or what but its all rusted...its also on the front brakes but its not as bad..I havent upgraded brakes or anything yet, so will getting just new rotors replace the whole rusted hub????or whatever it is...or would i have to get the whole big brake kit to replace it?any suggestions on good rotors and pads
 
what hes talking about is the hat on the brake rotor being rusted. if you get the powerslots they will fix the problem and may even help with performance. you can sand down the parts on your existing rotors and paint them and that will fix it for a while but if you font think that you can or dont want to do it then go buy the powerslots. they WILL fix the problem.

and the picture is of the rear brakes if im not mistaken, as far as i can see he has a GS-T spyder, therefore he has rear disks, not drums. only the low end 2gs got drums, just for refrence all the 1gs turbo or non-turbo got rear disks.
 
...thnx guys...i think im gunna go with the new powerslots or brembo slotted/drilled rotors at all 4 corners....hopefully they wont rust:)
