installed HID's and rotopros rotors/pads

over the last weekend i installed HID headlights and foglights from the same guy kevin got them from on ebay and theyre AWESOME..lol. 200 bucks for all 4 lol took like 2 hours to install including the hour to figure where to put the ballasts.

also installed rotopros rotors and pads after the ordeal to replace the 2 guidepin bolts... and the rotors are very nice and really add a nice look to the wheels...and the pads..are quiet...finally..quiet...lol and the pads really help with braking a good amount

il take pics at lunch tomorrow and post them..the HID's ..are sooo obnoxious..lol im in love with them

You have the rotors installed backwards. The upper portion of the slot is suppose to go to the rear.

It will most likely wear the pads out faster and can also create noise problems. When i spoke with Rich @ Rotorpros he made it very clear to make sure they faced rearward.

Here is a site I would buy from. If that means anything.

http://www.stangmods.com/

I will buy the Heads and Fogs from them at some point.

Did you buy the HIDs from Flashplus / mydepots on eBay? If so, how long did it take from the day you placed the order to when it arrived at your doorstep?

Actually the rotors are facing correct. I got mine from www.brakedesigns.com (there is a group buyy going on right now)..My uncles twinturbo Porsche face the same way. Im sur Porsche knows what they are doing. As for the lights, my friend got them from Stangmods and he was fairly pleased. Here is the link to the group buy on these rotors. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=73406 They use the same Centric rotors as Rotopros but they have a double drill design. Here is a pic of mine.
