I know you have had slotted rotors before

mine weren't marked l and r

Many of these rotors I see on E Bay look just like stock ones that have been machined.

That would be pretty retarded. Good thing R1Concepts is a quality brand and I bought from the real R1Concepts seller.

Ya, That pic is right. My Baer rotors were marked the same way.

[Rexter9x]

Hey cliff, those are some nice looking rims, what are they?

No, The view in the pic is of the INSIDE of the rotor, not the outside that you see through the wheel. (pay attention to the direction of rotation)

Hey cliff what did you do to your caliphers ? Did you powdercoat them or get some after market ones ?

[Cliff8928]

Both, they are aftermarket, and powder coated.

[cliffordwoeller]

is it the gm brake upgrade kit you talk about ?

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Its the corvette brake caliper swap, do a search for it or go over to grandamgt.com and look under the how-to section

Yes, 12" F/W body rotors, '98+ F-Body brackets and F-Body or the better Corvette or GTO calipers. I don't like calling it the "corvette" brake swap, because that's not really what it is. Everyone just likes to call it that.

Why so slow....................LOL

hmmm ok so those brakes work really well ? stop you pretty good ? I have power stop ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors but to me its like my pedal has to go half way if i want to stop really quick where as with stock it was i just start applying pressure on the pedal and could feel the brakes stoping me but again the ceramic pads and rotors seem to be a lil lacking and i dunno if its just cause i have the wrong set up or what

[[ion] C2]

I got them in today, and they aren't directional vanes, just straight ones.

So which way looks better? Cliff's or NickAlero2000's. I'd think the way NickAlero2000's is set up would push the gases outward due to the orientation of the slots, rather then the "sawblade" direction of Cliff's.

[cliffordwoeller]

Hmmm i seen the R and L on mine so I hope I installed them correctly

[Alero_1986]

So what was the conclusion in this post? Which way should the R1 rotors face? like cliff, or like NickAlero2000?

[cherrington17]

depends on the kit.

really good ones come prelabelled.

[Alero_1986]

The R1 Concepts E-Line did not. The part number on the box is the same for both fronts, and the same for both rears. The only number I was able to find on the rotors aside from the p/n was the min thickness, and some other faint writing. nothing resembles a L or R

I 2nd that motion. Direct them outwards in proportion to forward movement.
