Just got my ebc rotors. They are clearly marked L and R, but the slots are rounded slots and the slots are reverse of most other rotor manufactures where the slots look like they are facing the wrong way. I actually like the way the EBC slots are, just looks better as it matches the direction of the wheel turning. But, has anyone else have them mounted this way, or do you put them on in reverse?
I'm just going to mount them the way they are marked till i hear otherwise.

thanks!

 

I should be getting mine soon with the red stuff brake pads.

Plz let me know how they work out.



Tasso-

 

okay will do, i'm going to throw them on tonight with my hawk hps's.

 

Got the two fronts on, no problems. Heard a lot of people having a hard time installing HPS's, but they were easy to install. I'll put the two rears on tomorrow morning and bed them. The rotors sort of look funky right now since i have the rotors that are coated black. Once i bed them and get down to the metal again, they will look pretty good and the black will make the slots stand out. Pedal feels a lot firmer than before, i like it that way.

 

Black rotors ?

did they come that way or you had them coated ?


Thanks,

Tasso-

 

They either come coated zinc, yellowish coating, or black, both are to resist rusting. They say they coat domestic car rotors black, but this is an import so i don't know. I got all 4 in and just bedded them. I'll do the bedding procedure again later, but the new pads burnished the rotors and took the black off the rotor just leaving the dimples and slots black. I think it looks really good right now. From a few feet the dimples look like they are actually drilled through since it's black.

Make sure to take off the angled metal spacers/washer type things stuck on the back of the ferrodo (OEM) pads, take those off and put them on your new pads. I put them on my hawks, no sound at all. I'm crossing my fingers, because of all the noise complaints, but these are silent so far.

I greased the edges of the pads with a very thin layer of caliper grease too. Right now, they feel a little grabbier then the ferrodos, don't know if that's the new pads or a combination of the new rotors breaking in too, but they are pretty nice so far.

here's a pic of the front and back installed

 

Looks good !

Can't wait for mine

Is it just me or does one pic have slotted and X-drilled and the other one just X-drilled ?

 

where'd you get 'em from? (if you don't mind me asking). looks pretty good.

 

Thanks GMADD, and no they both are slotted and x-drilled, just the spokes blocking the slots in the pic.

suprpwr - i picked them up from a place called perfect brakes. They have a web site, www.perfectbrakes.com. When i ordered, they included free shipping at the time and they were cheaper than most plus no tax for me since i'm in cali. So far they are working great. The one bad thing is i think they made them when i ordered them, it took about a month to get them, but i'm glad i waited for them.
