worth gettin new disks, only gonna cost ya maximum of £20 fit em yourelf piss off piss, with the drums get a wire brush on em first then after some rust remover. Caliper paint is cheap whereva just ya local car shop should have it or halfords etc.

if ya drive ya car round ya disk's won't go rusty as the rust will be rubbed off by the brakes being applied. mine did the same when my car was off the road for a week.
