They look abit like the disks i have on the locost. Rust build up from standing.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

vag rear brakes all look like that sooner or later. They don't work that well and never clear the rust build up from where it's been stood, then they just get worse and worse untill they want binning.

I drive while yanking the bar a bit to clear them off when it's been stood to clear them and prevent this.

Even if you change them though and free up the calliper it'll be a 12 month max before they look crap again
