Rust ring on front rotors/ intro!

The rust ring may just be your rotor "hats", which shouldn't make contact with pads anyway.

Go get some real HP tires, like Michelin Pilots or (cheaper) Sportcontact 3's. The car will not perform properly on all seasons. Drive a 100 miles easy and go hard in the mountains for a few hours, being sure to do a decent amount of braking. That'll fix everything.

(P.S. I recommend Rt 72 East of Boulder)

Hehe it's my daily so I'd love HP tires but I need to sometimes get around in snow and don't have the extra cash for new wheels to mount the rubber on. I hear using one set of rims and constantly switching rubber will hurt them because I was gonna do that with the camaro but stuck with my all seasons. Car is plenty sticky for me

I'll still take your advice on the boulder route I hear it's a great drive.

Anyway here is the pic I snapped when I got back from lunch, circled ring in red.

Those rotors look rough but if you are saying they are smooth they should be alright, the inner rust area is normal as the pad doesn't contact there. Maybe the pads were not broken in yet so it's time to experience the amazing Porsche brakes by using them as hard as you dare & then much harder to mate the pad & rotor surfaces together & minimize noise. Stay with the allseason tires at least till spring since the hi-po rubber is no good below 40 degrees.

Thanks for the reply, I just wanted to make sure that rust line was normal. I'll clean it with a rag because it bothers me. The rotors are a little dirty but they don't feel pitted or grooved to the touch.

And yeah I'll get a few more 100-60 breaking sessions in after I go in for my tire balancing This car already stops waaay faster than my V6 camaro. It's blast to drive.
