Ut oh.
You need to swap them rotors.
You've got the right hand rotor on the left and vice versa.
Looking great as always.

John A couple months ago they were telling me the same thing. Although I found rotors(Slots) which were the same both directions. John you actually told me, in that thread, it shouldn't make a difference which direction they were, has this changed? (If there is a difference in the direction of the slots, would it be bad to switch them after alot of miles?) Looks Great!!!

Yes it has, to a point, cause I didn't know any better.  I guess it depends which rotors you have, but since Dion has a Baer kit, I'm going along as to waht Baer says... http://www.baer.com/rotors/ Would it make a difference? Hellz if I know. I don't think it would unless you'd be doing track events where rotor cooling becomes pretty damn important. Guess it depends what each manufacturer says... John

Thanks Yes, they're TD DTM's, although my set is exactly four years old this month....I got them when TD first arrived here in this country. I believe they were discontinued, but I don't know when. I heard TD stopped them two years ago....

John I know, but I bought the kit from an ex-CEG'er, and this is how he had installed the kit on his car. I just figured I'd keep it going the same way. From what I understood, the slots are supposed to "pull" the caliper towards the rotor, while mine are actually "pushing" the rotor away. I've been meaning to change it, but the car feels fine, so I've just been lazy. Maybe I'll change it around this week, and swap the pads out also...

Thanks I believe those are Team Dynamics DTM's in size 18" if I'm not mistaken. Same rims Antonio used to run. I know washingtontire.com has them for around $860 a set.[/b] DTMs are discontinued in the US, but not in Eurpoe. I will be posting my 17" x 7.5" for sale in the next day or two. BTW, I have 6 rims, 1 good spare & 1 curbed spare - they are on RE730's with plenty of life left on them! They will be priced to move when they go up, watch the classifieds  EDIT: CHECK CLASSIFIEDS!
