R32 Breaks

[who's next]

i bought a set of r32 front breaks for my car, the breaks are in good condition but it has some surface rust on the rotor nothing major, its just from not being in use, what i want to know is how do i get it back to its orig. shinny look, do i use a very light sand paper and lightly sand it or should the break pads take care of it for regular driving?

any help would be good

thanks

yeh, u can just take off the surface rust using some very light sandpaper but try keep a co-centric motion towards around the rotor, but try not to leave any deep scratches. other option is to just take them to a brake place and get them 'skimmed' - not machined, just a lighter version to take the rust off. or u could just run em with ur pads, but that rust is just going to clog up the valley in the pad and most likely create build-up, so thats not really ideal.

If it's only surface rust bolt them on and let the pads clean them off; if it's any worse get them machined.
