It is rare for me to have to brake hard, especially since London started installing countdown timers on the traffic light walk signals. Unfortunately, one side effect is corrosion on the rotors, particularly the rear ones.

My lease is up in August and I think its time to move on. At my last service, the Service Manager mentioned that the rotors might have to be turned at the next service (it only had 17,000 km at the time!). Being a cheap bastard, I'm going to try to eke it out until August and just return the car as is. Now that my summer tires are back on (225 MPSS), I'm deliberately using the brakes more to try to keep the rotors clean. I have to really concentrate to leave my braking late, then really stomp on it. It makes me look like a bit of a **** around town, but it is kind of fun even if I can only do it in a straight line. I'd have to be going stupid, stupid fast to have to brake that hard into a corner.

On a related note, if anyone in SWO is looking for a good used BRZ with low miles, check out Subaru of London in August. Just watch out for the rotors...

Haha well if it's a lease... FULL RENTAL POWER!
