Default I'm your latest Noobie!!!!

I'm pretty happy with my rotors, I had a heck of a time getting 2 of the stock ones off though. It took a 5-ton press and about 3 hours of hammering with a 3 pound sledge. The I broke that rotor into about 8 pieces before one came off... and the 5-ton press and an impact wrench for the other. All in all, I love the way they look and they do feel like they stop me better. A great deal for sure, thanks for the group buy, everyone.

tibby01, is that a pic of your front drivers side brakes?

just looking at the pic of your front rotors.
I have mine on the other way.
I did some research before I had them installed, but it is hard to tell because everyone has them on their cars different ways.

Do you have any problem with a humming noise or excessive brake dust?
If so you might want to try switching the direction of the slots.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Do the rotors come telling you which side is which? How do you want the slots to hit the calipers for best performance?

If you do some looking around(magazines and such), you will find them mounted both ways. Most of the time, you find them mounted like this.





If you think of which way the wheels will be spinning when the car is in forward motion, they will be as tibby01 has them.

Just wondering if anyone has a deffinite answer for this yet. Since I missed out on the group buy I bought my rotorworks rotors from ebay and just got them yesterday. I installed them last night the same way tibby01 did and now my car feels a little jerky when I come to a stop. Just wondering if that could be my problem or if its something else I need to look into.

i see them mounted like that on race cars, but on normal street cars, I usually see them mounted the other way. the shop that installed mine put mine on the other way, and they deal with a lot of import cars with brake kits.

So you have them mounted the reverse of tibby01? And I believe I've heard you say your braking rocks right?
