When I rebuilt my rear suspension I decided to rebuild my brakes too. While I had everything off and taken apart I took the time to get the calipers sandblasted. I had previously tried to do a DIY job with angle grinders and wire brushes but after 1/2 seasons the rust came right through. Simply tire does a good job but in a few seasons the rust will come through. Clearly the sand blasting route is more difficult but it is the only way to ensure they will last for years to come.
