The kit is discontinued and it's huge, so replacing anything may be tricky and definitely expensive. I've heard these are rebranded Rotora's (come from the same manufacturer) so you may be able to use Rotora pads / rotors as replacements. It wouldn't hurt to contact Greddy and see if they have any extra replacement hardware.

U can contact rotora also. I've talked to a couple vendors and parts are easily replaceable for discontinued kits. No biggie. I'm digging my BBK! !

thanks bro. slot rotation is not the key point. its the vanes inside the rotors. they should point towards the back of the car. Greddy rotors are not the same as rotoras. The vanes point backwards even though the slots are pointed backwards as well. Sorry if that was confusing.

basically every brand is different the slots dont determine the side of the rotors, its the vanes on the inside. they vanes again should point towards the reard of the car just look at how they curve.

thanks btw, you should of got these instead of the rotoras! they would of made a great contrast
