Looks good....now just replace or paint the calipers and your done

Should work now, I changed my email address and didn't realize I had to reauthenticate my account. I couldn't post or anything and couldn't figure out why until I checked my email. My slots are straight not curved. Do you guys think I need to have the sides switched? I was telling Swoope that when I went to have them installed the guys there asked which was left and right because it wasn't marked. I didn't know and they said to call who I got them from so I called up rx8store and they told me that the slots need to slot towards the rear so that's why I assumed they were on right. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

Big question that hasn't been asked....Do these rust up in rain like oem rotors???
I bought a pair of drill slotted rotors for an impala i had, claimed to be sprayed with something or other for no rust...but in the end they became rusty when raining just like the Rx8 rotors do....I know they sell a bunch of cheapy drill slotted rotors on ebay just wondering if we have had a rating system on all of the different sets on Rx8 club? kinda like a user rating (consumer's digest)

Or you can buy some carbon rotors and have a kit custom made for your rx8. But thats probably going to me upwards of 4K.
Generally.
Braking Performance = noise, dust, and rust. (and sometimes sparks

Most people just pull them off and paint them and its good. I think models now come with this part coated silver so they won't rust.
