So, anyone experience their rear brake rotors rusting severely?
Am having 4 new Bilsteins installed at my local 4WD shop and they informed me they saw that my rear rotors are shot, but not because of normal pad-to-rotor wear. He said they've been seeing this phenomenom lately on all the late-model heavy trucks (e.g., GM/Chevy, Ford, and Dodge) where the metal on rotors is rusting severely and the rust is getting trapped between the pad & rotor and grooving the crap outta' them. I wasn't exactly planning on replacing my rear rotors at 73k. I guess this is what I get for being a lazy s.o.b. and not doing my shocks/brakes myself this time.
Anyone else heard of this? Maybe it's just the inordinate amount of salt/sand NJ uses instead of simply plowing the damn roads.

Strange.
