Help me out here....
Guys and Gals,
Not to hijack this thread, but shouldn't the slots on the rotors be going the other way? Shouldn't the slots be facing east to west and not west to east? By the way, nice work you've done Chrisle great looking vehicle, keep up the good work!

1. the rotors are slotted / drilled by a COMPUTER NUMERIC CODE MACHINE, using a simple program/software, i don't think they are cut directional
2. wood steering wheel - same exchange program as AMERICAN STITCHES
3. Theft-proof logo valve stem caps - they use a small plastic key which slided over the cap will secure it in place - JEWELRY FOR CARS

Chrisle,
I guess what I'm trying to say is aren't the slots suppose to be rotating the other way, like you may have them on backwards?

Again, for the pics - either refresh page or copy paste url
HEY RU - Regarding the rotors - yes, you are right, they look mounted counter speedwise ( if i can say like that) - these rotors were finished using double disc grinding which ensures parallelism leaving a perfect, non-directional finish ! There are companies who do not use this technique so their products will be directional - so, brake pad friendly !
My rotors uninstalled - they felt silky like a"baby foot" LOL
Anyway, no vibration, no noise, good braking force so far !
