Yes. Hard to tell cause of the ground and the pic.

I'd like to know if you're pleased.
So far yes, they are really nice and strong, but it could just seem that way since I have new brakes... ya know? I can lock them up pretty easy... only tried at lower speeds under 45mph. Gotta pull that ABS fuse and see how it goes.

Do you have all old rotors? The drilled ones in the pics? And if soo are they still good, and are the for sale?
I have them but they're worn. I wouldn't bother with them. Smooth surfaces, but worn down in decently. I'd get rid of them on the cheap I guess.

how much did that setup run ya?
IIRC that brackets were less than $50 used, and the Monte set of rotors I got on ebay for about $170 shipped, not much more if any than a grand prix ebay rotors set would run.

Looks great, Zuul... So one thing I'm wondering... is the top or the bottom of the slot supposed to enter the caliper first? I have mine the opposite direction of yours. Or does it not matter?
Yeah I just noticed that after I posted the pics up! I feel like a tard. I doubt it matter much.

I have seen them both ways and never heard which is right. I agree though, it probably doesn't matter.

My rotors didn't come with instructions, so I wasn't totally sure.

I only paid 94 bucks for all 4 drilled rotors from ebay, did you pay 170 for just the fronts?

I am waiting for the 12.9" conversion kit to come out from ZZP then I will get that setup

170 was for all 4, shipped.
$94 is really good. I could never find a set of 4 for under $140ish. I'm talking about the zinc coated ones. I have definetly seen cheaper for ones that aren't zinc coated and that may be what you got for that price, dunno.


I don't think the 12.9" kit will fit in stock wheels.
