Stillen Install Instruction:

Recommendation, if you don't like the direction change it, my last set of drilled/slotted rotors worked great for over 2 years in the same direction, I only changed them because of the great deal on Rotopros with the painted centers.

Now when you show it like that it makes sense. It's not the direction of the slots that matters in this situation, it's the direction of the cooling fins within the rotor that makes the difference.

Thanks for the diagram.

RED FTW!! I think the contrast between red calipers and a black body looks amazing. Thats just my opinion though.

Just curious, are you guys buying an extra set of calipers then taking time to paint them yourselves? Also what type paint are you using, anything special?

Most people are painting their stock calipers in place and IMO G2 caliper paint (google) is by far one of the best on the market!!!
