Default Rotora Rotors Finally Installed - Pictorial

FedEx just dropped them off a second ago. I was gonna start this post about 2 weeks ago to inform our CL community that StreetBeatCustoms.com takes forever to ship because these were "custom" ordered. Understandable, but you know.

96 ES300 (Dont know manufacturing date)
Model numbers are as follows.

Front Left: 168.4407.901S
Front Right:168.4407.902S

Rear Left: 168.44080.01
Rear Right: 168.44080.02

High speed braking. These do not rust. They should help stop faster I guess. More heat dissipation. Who cares...they look cool.

Yeah I wish they were the big Rotoras. I have ceramic pads. Need the brake lines. Does the brake fluid really matter? What should I get? Nothing from the Solara fits a 96 right?

Default Sorry it took so long

Sorry it took so long guys....and girl. For some reason I thought the place was open on Sunday. I didnt get enough rack time to paint the calipers and apply the Lexus caliper decals so here goes. Here is a pic of an old rotor.
