You specified that when you placed the order with the manufactorer? If you did I am sorry on behalf of David. If you are satisfied than thats fine, but if not I would get in touch with him if I were you.

Good luck!
Ya, I specified in the Title and the Message in PayPal that I only wanted slotted. I'm not going to go through all the trouble of sending it back and wait another 2 weeks, probably going to have to money having to ship it back.

BTW - were we supposed to get the mounting screws for these too? the heads on my old ones are nearly stripped.

No mounting screws. I have never received mounting screws with any of my rotors. You really sont need them, there just a pain in the ass.

Well it looks like I the first one to show some pics. I just Installed the Cross Drilled/ Slotted Rotors with Goodridge SS Brake lines along with Koni reds and the Ground Control coilovers with new KYB strut mounts. I also installed new rear calipers from Acura and I painted all 4 calipers with ceramic paint and a 2 coat clear coat.

is there have any particular order for those rotors? like the LF or RF? From the picture, the front rotor(LF) on the driver side should be on the passenger side(RF). Any ideas?

I chose to install my rotors like that because I feel you get better bite with the slots. It really does not matter, but I feel you get more stopping power this way.
 
nice pics emaculate! I'm def painting my calipers this weekend...looks great!

I highly recomend it. You can pick up a kit at Pepboys for like $15. I would suggest the ceramic kit (applied using a paint brush) Vs. the spray can.

Also hit the calipers with a few coats of high temp clear coat after the calipers have completly dried. This process may take some vehicle down time but its well worth it in the end.

thanks for the tips...yea I've seen a lot of calipers that dont look good and it's apparent that they went the spray can way
 
Anyone else with updates on dates of arrival? I'm getting anxious with 2 weeks going buy and still no tracking #.
I was in the same boat, wondering about tracking numbers, then they just came fed ex one day. Never got a tracking number so I wouldn't worry about that so much. Being that they came fed ex though, they won't leave it for you, so you may want to do some checking just to make sure you haven't been missing the delivery guy. BTW the braking is AMAZING with these and some ceramics...and they look sooo fresh
 
well, I installed my rotors and they look great..

I wish I had some money to buy some rims, but what can you do....
For some reason the rear rotors are making a sort of rubbing sound as if the pads are sticking to it, but they are not. My mechanic inspected the rotors again and found nothing. They only sound when I am making turns right or left. The thing is that the sound seems to be dimishing. Just wondering if anyone else has experience this.
 
Well, I haven't installed the rotors yet and finally got a chance to look at them. Only complain I have are with the rear rotors. On the two rear rotors......one of the hat portion was only partially machined smooth and the other one (also on the hat portion) was not machined at at all. :mad: Anyone else here have the same problem with their rotors? I'll take a picture of them this week and post it up. Is it possible to have those (two rear) rotors sent back and have them refinish/machine the hat portion of the rotors?

Ok so I took a look at my set also and noticed the same thing. the 2 rear rotors don't look that good and smooth. they are rough. heres a picture of what I mean. Is it normal for it to be like that?

Mine came like that too. I'm not sure if that is the right or wrong way, but it really does not bother me that much.
 
mine came the same way....fronts are smooth, rears are not. I didnt think anything of it...you only see it when you're really looking for it, etc

some experts chime in please....Bandoni helped me install them and he said they seemed just like the ones he put on his Integra. He didnt think they looked weird or anything, etc....
