Service man told me they probably built up rust sitting on the lot and caused them to warp. Haven't heard that one yet.

Thanks for any info.

The service man doesn't know enough about brake rotors. They would have to be rusty beyond saveability to warp sitting on the lot. That would mean they have been exposed to the weather for several years to be that bad. The rust that would be on the brakes from sitting on the lot is just surface oxidation that will be removed after a few easy stops.

I think I'll call my dealer tomorrow and ask if the 08 brakes will fit the 07. That may be a less costly route from the Stillen kit, even if the big brake kit is pretty sweet.
