Blued rotors

lakefront · 10-24-2018, 04:53 PM

Noob question here....did my first high speed track day Mon at Road America. Went to swap pads and rotors back to "street" versions, saw that the front rotors had been heated to the point the outer half are blued. Are these safe to use again? Newer Zimmerman rotors with PFC 08 pads.
Thanks!

Agree it's fine. Do a bit of normcore driving it'll probably go away. If you see small cracking I would replace.

Jealous you got to drive Road America awesome track!

Normal.

I actually get disappointed that it goes away after Street driving. 😂
