Nice, why not paint the calipers while you are at it? what kind of rotors are these?

by **Elfumador** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 8:58 pm

i'm pretty sure you have the rotor on the OPPOSITE side of the car. switch your driver's side and passenger's side rotor.

crossdrilled rotors are directional, meaning that the way the line rotates should be the same as your tires.

sorry to say; SWITCH 'em up.

I made the same mistake the first time I put on my drilled rotors. Krook is correct, the rotors DO need to be switched.

Which one is the drivers side and which one is the passenger side? I think they are on correctly...

by **hskrsolara** » Tue May 02, 2006 3:31 pm

looks like the top is the driver's side.

by **GReddySetGO** » Tue May 02, 2006 3:59 pm

If the top 2 are driver's side and the bottom is passenger side, then yes it might be backwards. Double check the instructions or look on the rotor themselves. Its usually stamped with the direction its supposed to turn. All the slotted rotors I can remember installing are opposite of what is pictured here. You want the slots to go into the pads, not with it.

Oh, and from looking at the pics again, I hope you were using jack stands, not just that jack in the front :p

by **krook** » Tue May 02, 2006 4:41 pm

the direction of the slots and holes (direction starting from the lug nuts to the outer edge of the rotor) should be going TOWARD your caliper if it's the front rotors and AWAY from your caliper for the rears.

Well in some pictures i see the slots slanted straight like "Elfumador" but straight......
