BBK kit is on!!
Got the BBK kit on Wednesday and painted rears then dropped off my car to roll fenders so didn't get it back til Friday. Zaino'ed it up and took pics on Sunday while doing my camera runs at the Shoreline.

How have you found the brakes? work well? better response?
Nice tires too BTW. How long you had them. I have the same ones (inch smaller though 235/45 17). Have you had a good experience with them?

if i'm looking at that right, the rotor slots are facing the wrong way (should be 'slicing' into the pad) aka driver and passenger are flipped

good thing only 30 percent of the braking force comes from the rear~
Different makers have different opinion on slot direction- rotora and racingbrake use opposite of each other
Their main purpose is to allow outgassing of pads at temp under heavy use, a side benefit is the cleaning of the pads surface.
The outgassing can be high enough pressure to push the pads off the rotors in most extreme useage--which better be standard braking with that nice setup~
Where can we do some door to door testing of different setups- without getting hasselled, and besides a trip to Thunderhill? Oh if anyone does want to go to Thunderhill- PM me!!

P.S. looked at the rotora site and didn't find an answer.

New ride...Acura MDX 2013
When I had my BBK the slots go forward, the rotors (bought new) had a 'L' and "R" sticker on them and yours are on backward from the way I had mine on...

Ok lets not kill this guy because his rotors arent in the quite right direction, but give him credit for having such a sexy RIM color to go with that black, man those RED calipers are the SHIT!!!!!!!!! It doesnt matter if that style with RED calipers gets old, Your car makes that shit look like it just came out.......
