brakes
 

so if i got these brake rotors: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...spagenameZWDVW

will l need different calipers?

RE: brakes
 

All iROTORS Brake Rotors are:

stock size replacements which will fit your existing stock calipers, pads, and lines




if you go bigger you may need calipers then they may not fit your rims

RE: brakes
 

Yes they will fit. DOUBLE CHECK THE COATING BEFORE YOU PUT THEM ON! I bought slotted/drilled rotors that were SUPPOSED to be zinc coated so they wouldn't rust... needless to say that is not true because they have rust lines. Bad. Drip some water on a spot on the rotor and let it drip off... Come back an hour later and if it's rusted there, so get them re-coated. They'll rust real fast if they don't have a coating (I can see rust forming on mine after 15 mins of being wet while washing my stang). Check the picture below.

ONce you've driven it a little and used the brakes, the zinc is going to wear off anyway. Most car rotors will have surface rust if they sit after a rain. 99.99% comes off the next time you brake.

RE: brakes
 

Once you use the brakes it scrapes off the zinc coating... BUT, your caliper doesn't clamp on 100% of the rotor surface. Look at the picture I attached... you can clearly see the rust line at the base of the rotor where the caliper doesn't touch. It looks copper-colored in that picture. If the zinc coating is scraped off in an area where the brake pad will touch it's not an issue because the surface rust will be taken right off.

Roger, got it. I wasn't following your line of thought earlier. To be honest, I can't see it in the pic, but I'll take your word for it.

RE: brakes
