In the mean time, spray those rusty brake lines and fittings with Fluid Film, available @ Oreily's. It's a penetrant/wax-oil that will help slow the rust.

I would suggest washing them thoroughly first. The salt will work at them even under FF treatment. It's also available at Lowes, in the Garden section. FF is loving great stuff. MADE FROM SHEEPZ!

Get this stuff. Works in salt mines.

I use it on measurement stuff, mostly loadcells.

Made from Aussie sheeps.

Fluid Film is lanolin based. Works awesome.

actually, yeah, I am a little mad
If I spray wash the lines and they pop, then I would be saving myself from imminent death, right? Now I'm already doing the brake stomp when I drive it.

Oh -- one more thing -- these new rotors rust up super easily. If I have a coating on all 4 rotors, what's the best way to get them off that minimizes wear or scoring? As few hard stops as possible? Long gentle stops?

A couple of moderately hard stops will do the trick on my car, especially for the rear discs, which hardly see any wear in normal driving.
