Looks good Wilby! Great finish choice for your car as well. How you like the XLR8 rotors/pads package? These stock pads are horrible with dust

Jackieee_TL, brake package is a good upgrade IMO. I also changed brake lines. Quiet and great stopping power. Just installed today. And with all the hills here in the US Virgin Islands, it's much needed!!

Thanks. Just got through with the mods late yesterday. Posted a quick cell phone pic for viewers to see how the Vossen CVT's looked on the 4th Gen TL. Went with 35 for offset and 245 35 20 tire size. No rubbing, no fender mods needed.

Congrats! Definitely ready to see more pics of the entire ride. I've been wondering what the CVT's would look like on the 4G TL.

Slotted rotors are directional, what direction should they be installed in?

I like the aero package, but not to sure if I'm going to get that. As for the roof spoiler, that's a possibility for sure.

The rotors came from XLR8 labeled for which side they were
to be installed on. Simple enough. But I've also read before that they will still function as they should even if the rotation is reversed.

Possibly on being brand specific. I've had a few rides with both slotted and cross drilled rotors. They usually come marked once you buy from reputable sources.

I believe the direction you have yours mounted in is correct. By the way, very nice ride

Probably just the angle I had it parked on or even the pic. She handles perfect!

Is your setup squared? I looked at cvts and they're only sold staggered?

My set up is squared. I have the SH-AWD and couldn't fit a staggered pair. What site are you looking at in order to purchase?

A lot of sites will sell/show the staggered bundle. Just send them an email or call them and asked for a square setup.
