nice job patrick. how long did it take you to do? was the caliper paint the brush on type or spray?
upgrade my brake rotors and pads
Brembo cross drill rotors, rotex gold pads and painted my calipers....look at pictures[
]
not to obvious with rims, maybe when i upgrade my rims to a bigger and a star look ....[8)]

Hi, Very nice[] that will be my next mod. But don't get me wrong, is the rotor supposed to be the other way around, look at the hole its all pointing forward. Good job.

Good job.and that's the reason I asked few posts above if the brembos have those cooling vanes/vented like the ML55 but gotten no reply. If no one knows what cooling vanes are, they are those slots sandwich in between the front and back rotor surface. It allows heat to extract out of the rotor more efficiently.
Here's an example of the vanes. It's those square slots and they need to be pointing clockwise.

the Front has the Vanes but the back does'nt have any. sorry, but i still dont get what u mean about they need to be pointing Clockwise
the pictures on top is:
1st pictture is Right Rear
2nd picture is Right front

hmmm.. i ask breakworld if there should be any directional with the holes and they say there is none. he had to look at my Model and year. maybe some year has....[8)]JimB - 4/17/2006 7:11 AM
Hi, Very nice[
Thanks for confirming the vanes trick! This is what I meant as to what direction the vanes suppose to be facing btw. The direction of the slotted holes doesn't matter which way it's facing, but the vanes do!

well, i just took off one of my tires and found out that this type of rotors are not exactly thesame as the original and expensive ones. my rotors vanes are just straight no curves....there was an instructions on which once were right or left though....[
]Are you going to turn them around?

turn what around?
on your picture that is your left front rotors ( if sitting in the car) right?
now here is my right front rotors ( if sitting in the car ) i dont see any diff

LoL... gw, remind me not to order the same company when I need to order my rotors in the future. LoL [
] Your right rotor is now indeed running backwards (the vanes at least) and unable to take advantage of the cooling efficiency. LoL I think you should call them up and let them send you the correct part.1 - 20 of 24 Posts
