It's made of metal, its going to corrode in some way - I don't think stainless steel has the properties you'd want in a brake rotor, either.

- kbenson 9y agoWell, it could be ceramic, which is what some competition cars use, and that wouldn't rust. But I doubt it.
- plorkyeran 9y agoThere are <$100k cars that have had ceramic brakes as a factory option, but it's not a good option.
- qbrass 9y agoCeramic brakes don't work well when they're cold, so you don't want to use them on a car where the main use case is a cold panic stop.
- Aloha 9y agoHe said 'metal' that implies not ceramic.
- kbenson 9y agoWhich was second-hand information, and light on details, and thus possibly mistaken. As I stated, possible, but I didn't think it likely.
