The two screws you mentioned actually need a special tool to remove.. I think they are spring loaded. They are intentionnaly done this way so that the rotors DO NOT spin off the hubs while you are driving.

Thank you fsttyms1! I appreciate your work, but I was wondering if they skimped on the fins. It's good to see that they essentially put one drill hole per fin and didn't skimp at all. Do you concur?
Thanks again man. You're the best!

welcom fla-tls. as for teh fins they seem to be thicker than the ones i had on there previously, which should help them be stronger. i guess only time will tell, but they seem to be well built!

I'll be getting these next week and just wanted to know.

Some people say having the vanes fall towards the front of the car allows for cleaner sweeps of the pad, but as far as actually braking perfomance is concerned, on rotors like these with non directional vanes, it makes no difference.
