90 Ford Festiva front rotors

As long as the surface is functional and the measurements are within spec most jurisdictions don't care what they once looked like. This is assuming that there hasn't been such rusting as to destroy the integrity of the rotor.

PS you should put your kid in a safe car at least till they are good at driving. Failing that at least make sure the tires are good.

Brakes are the singular most important system on the car..... If you can't go... you can't go - If you can't stop, you are in a world of worries. Anything that can call the integrity of the rotors into suspicion should be addressed.

Well I won't disagree that brakes are important, I have seen more fatalities as a result of bad tires (even old one's that "look good")

If your tires are sliding it won't matter how good your brakes or steering is. In this situation it appears as if cost is a serious factor, tires first, everything else second.

depend on how bad rust is

after market rotors are cheep

hurc ast

Try driving around the block 4 or 5 time applying the breaks as often as possible, this has worked for me in the passed, let the break pads remove the rust then replace the pads. If I recall the rotors on a Festiva are an integral part of the hub and to replace them you have to actually remove the hub, so it's worth a shot.

For what it's worth
