No rust

I had read on here that almost as soon as you get your calipers, etc. wet they show rust. I remember seeing rust on most of the 8's I looked at. I washed it today and they didn't rust. Have they come out with something for the dealers to fix the problem maybe or was I just lucky this time?

If your calipers do not rust, you are not running the M Flash. You must upgrade to the M flash to get the rusting rotors feature. Sorry, man. I think they might replace your rotors with rusted ones under warranty.

But really, I'm not having any trouble either. I think it might partially be based on your climate and some other things. My ROTORs would rust a little while washing, but the rust came off as I used the breaks, but this is normal on most cars I've driven, but never in the center like most people have trouble with.

Funny that people "worry" when things are going well for them...
