grege Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Finally broke down and went the DIY route to install new brake pads and rotors on our 2017 energi and 2018 hybrid. Purchased DFC kits from RockAuto and all went well. Installed "coated" rotors on my wife's car and standard non-coated daily driver rotors on mine, but installed DFC's "5,000" brake pads on both. Will see how rotor differences stack up over time (i.e. coated vs. non-coated). Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grege Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Alright, I realize it's only surface rust, but I will only buy and install coated rotors from now on...I was thinking (probably more so hoping) that DFC daily driver rotors would also be coated in some fashion to retard rusting, but they aren't and for only 10 to 20 dollars more for a full set of rotors, it's worth it to me to go coated just for the better rust-free appearance. Live and learn I guess... Greg Noah Harbinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
