help with rotor install
I'm about to install EBC slotted rotors and i just wanted to make sure i've got this right. The rotors are marked L and R. Would L refer to drivers side? I can't find any info on their site. Thanks.

Remember to clean all mating surfaces, clean off rotor surface with brake cleaner, and torque the wheels to 80ft-lbs in a star pattern

The phillips head screw? Do you have an impact driver? If you you can drill it out. The screw isnt needed, its just there to hold it in place until the wheel is on.

Caliper bolts - not rotor screws - but he's right - drill the mofo's out and be done with them.
PB Blaster - get a can. Drown it and let it soak for about 20 mins. Try to break it free.
No luck?
BE CAREFUL AND DON"T DROP THE CAR DOING THIS....
Get a wrench or the bolt and position a board between the wrench and the floor so that the weight of the car would break it free. Let down the jack SLOWLY (don't drop the car) until your bolt moves / breaks free. Jack it back up and loosen.

Ya it's the caliper bolts. I got the first two off (14mm) but the 17mm bolts won't budge. I drown them i WD40 and gave them a few wacks. I have a compressor and gun, but they won't move. I already put it back together. I'm too frustrated to do any more today. I think this is the first time this car has had a brake change, so everything is on there super tight.

I read that fast
Breaker bar + heat should do the trick.

Had this problem the other week. I used a hammer and gave a few good wacks on top off the rotor right above the bolt, actually smashing the rotor in a little. Gave the bolt another try and it came right out. Plan was to just smash the whole rotor off but this worked and took less effort.

Well i'm going to go at it again this weekend. Should be faster now that i know what i'm doing. I'm going to grab a torch tomorrow. I don't want to smash my rotor to pieces in case i still can't get the bolts off. Thanks for the help fellas.
