Stock Calipers Rusting Fast?
 

Only 6 months old and all 4 look like this...pretty upsetting :(

Dang! Salt maybe?

Looks like you drove it through this winter?

nothing a wire wheel cant take care of, it's cast iron...it's bound to rust especially anywhere there's rain, salt, or snow. Look at this way, it gives you an excuse to clean them up and paint them. Throw a little stop rust on them before painting to ensure rust doesnt bleed through. It's a pain in the ass dealing with rust but it's not the end of the world...and that looks like really light surface rust so it shouldnt be tough to clean up.

think of it as optional copper orange calipers from the factory

Yeah, it's my daily so I drove it all winter. Going to wait for a good day to take care of it, just didn't expect to see this in 6 months though :iono:

meh that sucks, might as well paint those suckers with caliper spray.

It's the chaep material that China uses in the cast.

Back in the day... This would never happen.

Heat up your calipers! HEAT THEM!

I wonder if you couldn't take the wheels off and use a steel brush to remove the rust. I would imagine its surface rust.

Paint 'em.

can't tell if troll or not.

Clean it off with rust removers, then spray primer then coat it with caliper paint. That would take care of it. :)
