Jim,

Direction of slots or drill pattern matters little. 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? wink

Shaun, how much did the the stock caliper/rotor weigh? 18lbs. for the new setup sounds really good! How much extra was the crossdrilled rotors? Looks great man, making my mouth water!

Shaun: those look amazing.

Do you think you could get a pic from further away? Show a whole side of your SVT?

What wheels do you have now? Are those RS5's?

AWESOME! You've just helped me make my decision due to the weight difference. Like asked before, what's the diff between Wilwood and stock?

Or jack the whole side up, move a rear tire to the front and put the dummy out back. laugh
