Brembo CDS Rotor Problems

I've put on just under 1000KM's with my new Brembo Cross Drilled Slotted Rotors and the zinc plating is already flaking off. Has this happened to anyone else after only that many KM's?

I had some brake dust problems before that seem to have worked itself out, but now I can visibly see some rust and flaking. I'm not too happy about it at all.

I'm going to phone Brembo tomorrow and see if they'll do anything about it. Until then. Any suggestions? Anything like this happen to you guys with your rotors?

Don't call Brembo b/c they only make unplated blanks for our cars. Another company buys the blanks, drills, slots and plates them and then resells them to you. You need to call the the people you bought the rotor from. Brembo will not be any help.

Pat's correct. Contact the seller not Brembo. Same thing happened w/my CD brembos but I'd already been told by others not to expect too much from the coated/plating process so I wasn't surprised. G'luck though.

Thanks guys. I didn't even notice that. I'll give them a ring

Oh sh*t!!!......, I've got a fresh set of CD Magnum rotors fr and rr that were CAD plated before they were shipped. I went with the plating trying to avoid the rust thing and also the bling paint thing. Hope it isn't all for not. JoBo, I'm assuming that you did the tedious bedding in process of the rotors.

I bedded mine. I don't think that will effect the plating any though. My Brembo's and the plating are fine still... Must depend on who does the plating cause it should hold up forever.
