Last weekend I installed 4000 series DBA rotors with Hawk pads. I purchased the rotors last year (sat on shelf). I also purchased the 4 stretch bolts that hold the caliper anchor plate.
Yesterday the car was washed and after a drive I noticed that I have 1/2" of surface rust on the lower portion of rotor face. After investigating this issue I discovered that the rotors I was sold are smaller than my factory ones, I can only assume I was sold the V6 rotors!
So now the waiting game begins, we live in Canada and have to wait another 2 weeks for more bolts arrive for the caliper anchor plate, I feel I will get nowhere with money back from the rotors (shipping to Arizona) and the pads will more that likely be junk from hanging a 1/2" over the*rotor.
I plan on just having the old rotors cut and install the original pads once the bolts arrive and chalk it up to experience. In the mean time I will keep the car close to home since I am concerned with using the car with the calipers/pads not on the complete surface of the rotor.
