Hate to say this, but your rotors are on backwards in the front. The edge of the slots closest to the outside of the rotor should go under the pads first (the vanes un the rotor themselves face that direction for cooling.) It doesn't look as "cool" but the rotors won't cool properly facing that way.

Other than that, looks really nice!

Actually that's the way POWERSLOT had them in the box. I put them on the way they said it was to be put on. Those slots don't matter as much as the vents in the middle of the rotors....THOSE are what cools it down.

Then powerslot is the exception to the rule of every other slotted rotor i have seen.

Looks great. Hoping to upgrade to the 6th gen brakes on my 98. Unfortunately have to get bigger rims first. Nice job tho.

The kit, drop, and brakes look good... but overall the car still looks slow. You need to do a B16A swap.
