posted picture is of driver side front. does it look like i installed the rotation correct?
the fins in the center is scooping air or should it be the other way around... or does it matter..
i didnt notice this still i installed it.

umm i can't remember how it's like when it was on mark's car. i thought those rotors should be the other way? at least that's the case for my ap racing and stoptech. you should check with brembo to make sure

you have the 13" and davegs4 has the 14" setup. if they are "similar", then here's davegs4's car

it's in the opposite way from what you have

Congrats on the Brembo. If they are anything like my Stoptech then the rotors are installed on the wrong side. This may explain why they are loud like you describe

i guess i need to go over and swap the rotors over...



and mine are (front passanger side):

when i am driving i guess the vents are taking in air..

oh well.. i noticed this before i started to bleed the system... but... dont know what happen.

This should be a lesson.. don't rush your installs.. and always have a person who knows what their doing to help.

i plan to go nitrous.. my brakes were warped (everytime i brake the steering chatters like crazy..)so i figured i would just upgrade the brakes now. and it doesn't hurt to have better stopping.

Imagine how well they'll stop once you get them on right.
