Maybe I changed them too early.

Yes.....it was scary at times. Brakes feel so much better now.

The pads have a large 'overhang' in them.

Loads of life left in them

Normal. Although I'm sure you've seen similar pics on here. And possibly not that severe

Ground away by the build up of iron oxide - a cheap but effective abrasive.

How did the discs get so rusty in the first place? do you park it in the sea?

[Andy B]

they look similar to those removed from my car a few years ago ......can't remember the mileage - but it was a lot more than 30k

I don't care what that eejit admin says. Paint them.


Vastly reduces the amount of rust, which kills them long before the wear depth and the minimum thickness of the disk is reached.

The paint process you found a few months ago puts a very thin layer of zinc all over discs at the factory. The coating on the swept area gets scrubbed off quickly on first use (so doesn't put too much contamination on the brake pads) but the remaining coating provides a long lasting sacrificial anode.

If I had a choice I would buy zinc coated discs but there is no way I would slap paint on them.

What sort of paint would you use Chris?

Good to see you around mate
