What's important is that the rotor's vanes are angled the right way.. ..I'm sure Shaun installed them corrently. More recent tech. suggest slots / drill patterns should angle toward the hub to draw junk towards the center... where it affects balance a lot less than towards the outside. My Baer kit has slots directing glaze junk to the inside. Shaun: This rocks, I'd love to get a ride in that thing.. Get my eyeballs sucked outta their sockets.. Need good rubber hmm? How 'bout pulling that ABS fuse to get in control now? 2000 GTI 1.8t 1998 Ford Contour SVT - FOR SALE!! PM me for details

What wheels do you have now? Are those RS5's? -neal 99 SVT...modified 96 GL....the beater "I live my life a quarter mile at a time. For those 14 to 15 seconds, 16 if I get tire spin, or get a bad jump, or possibly if I have a friend in the car, I'm free."
