The first combination can include a first brake rotor and a first brake pad, and the first brake rotor can include a coating that imparts wear and corrosion resistant properties to the first brake rotor. The second combination can include a second brake rotor and a second brake pad, and the second brake rotor can lack the coating. Related systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and the like are disclosed. | 12-24-2015 |
