I need to brake 'em in to actually feel how it really differs. But I already felt it gripping much better than it was. I'll take more pics of the car tomorrow after a wash.

i had bad experiences with 2 sets of those same rotors on my front on my previous gs400. don't get me wrong the braking power was a huge improvement but i guess my 20" 70 lbs chrome wheels were to heavy and ended up warping the first set and then i replaced them only to have the second set warped as well. the third time i just put some blank oem(ish) brembo vented ones for half the price and never had any problems again. my back ones were fine all the while cuz i guess not so much braking force gets applied to them. i hope your front wheels are not huge and heavy and your front rotors last you a lot longer than mines did (which was like a month or two before the warping was so bad i couldn't take it anymore).
they look real nice though.

directional rotors
This may sound dumb, but it does matter which side those rotors are mounted on, right? With those rotors, I'd presume the 1st and 3rd rotor (pictured in the trunk) mounts on the passenger side, and the 2nd and 4th on the drivers side of the vehicle?

i had the slotted and cross-drilled ones, maybe thats why, they were really light but maybe thats why they got wrapped so easily. now that i look at those they seem like they would be a little stronger.

These rotors on LS are very heavy, maybe a little heavier than stock.
playa3uhh Really like the L-Tuned wheels. The rotors are nice. I have the same ones on my SC430. Definitely better stopping power than the OEM. Congrats!
Now it's triple silver: car, rims and rotors.
