Its front and rear slotted and crossdrilled.
EDIT: picture is a pretty generic one, but these are the correct rotors.

I will have new pictures tomorrow of how the new tires fit. I will have to roll the rear fenders a little bit more to get the clearance I need.
If anybody needs new tires and want the Nitto INVO in 295-35/18 send me a PM and let me know. I can get them for $164 a tire, brand new.
First impression of the new tires after 300 miles:
Looks cool, ha ha.
Dry traction - above 50 degrees everything seems good and handles real nice. Below 50 and these tires won't grip for shiet. This morning when I was driving to work it was about 28 outside and first and second gear were useless when getting on it. I could spin through first without ease and if I shifted hard into second they would spin all the way through redline, it was quite fun.
Wet traction - it might as well been 25 degrees outside. These tires don't want to grip that well.
If you drive "normal" these tires won't give you an issue and will last a long time. If you like to drive your Z or G hard in all weather situations like I do then you will be disappointed.
I hope the mileage and warm summer temps will make these tires more appealing.
The General Exclaim UHP that I had on before in 275/40/18 acted better than these do when they were worn down to nothing had more grip than these.
What can I say, I am a sucker for a cool design and a cheap price.

+1 on Jake.... He can do a great job for cheap, or Beer !
Good Morning Peeps.....So I get home last night and the unit that controls the HVAC system for the Master Bedroom is not working. I knew it was out as soon as I walked into the room...it was like an icebox.
The other 2 units were still ok....But it is definitely a Sh1tty time for this to happen. I slept in the room last night with a spacer heater running all night.
It never got above 63*. I think I'll sleep upstairs tonight if they can't get a service tech out today.
signed....frozen nuts

when you say the "unit that controls the hvac system" -- do you mean the actual control thermostate???
thats easily replaceable.......
simply go to home depot and get one and wire it up color to color wire for wire.
do you have gas heat(5wire) or electric heat(3 wire) or heat pump(8 wires). that will determine how many wires you have.
let me find you a link...its a very easy swap out.......and wont cost you a tech visit..

Y- This is for the outside contactor that runs the compressor
G- This is for the blower motor inside your airhandler
R- This is the hot side of your 24volt control circuit
O- This is the control to your reversing valve on a heat pump
W- This is a heat option
W2-This is a second heat option
E- This is for emergency heat
C- This is the common side of your 24volt control circuit

J,
No it's the actual unit up in the attic.
This past summer I had to get 2 main circuit boards for the other 2 units...this one is doing the exact same thing as the the other 2. It will need a new board.
Luckily we have it covered under a warranty and only pay $ 60 for the service call.

as for the boards going out, something is obviously wrong.......the installer installed those units wrong.........wrong wiring or voltage, something is not right...........one board on one unit sure, okay, maybe, but all 3 going out in the same house over time..........installer error most likely..

We have a warranty from when we bought the house....and we just renew it every year....this is only our 3rd year to do so. So far it has more than paid for itself every year.
The company is AHS.....look them up if you need extra coverage. They will pretty much cover anybody I think.
Usually it's like $ 400 -$ 500 per year and a $ 50 or $ 60 deductable. but it will cover alot of stuff like all appliances, disposal, Heat/AC, windows, garage door & opener,..etc....

I went the cheap route... im acctually going to buy 2 sets.. i already got ( well coming today) a set of xxr 521 in matte black.. they are the bbs lm reps. I got them in 20x10.5 all the way around . Next time i save up a TINY bit of cash.. or if i get a good check from my insurance for my 350, im going to get a set of rota svns or the p45r in gt orange. lol

Chris,
I remember a couple years ago in our old house our heating went out for a few days. It got to like 55 if I remember correctly. I would go in one room and turn on my tv, computer, 360, and had a space heater to try to warm it up. Luckily I tend to like it colder, but man that was no fun.

I slept in sweatpants, socks, wife beater, and a tee shirt last night under a nice down comforter. I was toasty under the comforter, but outside of it was chilly.
Waking up and going to take a shower in a cold bathroom sucked ! Even tho the water was hot, still had shrinkage from the cold air.
