Default New rotors installed

Thanks to TDS and beautiful very generous wife for allowing me to borrow his time and shop to install my new drilled & slotted rotors. The new rotors not only look great but work great too and the car drives better. It was a good thing that I picked to do this mod since during the installation we found and corrected some issues I was having with some steering wheel shake. We found that some rotor clips that are put on from the factory to hold the rotors in place were still installed, one on one rear rotor and two on the other rear rotor. On the S197’s this will cause after market wheels not to seat correctly and will result in steering wheel shake. We also found that one of the rear rotors was warped, which was also helping cause steering wheel shake. Also found was some rust build up on the rear rotor mounting surface most likely do to the fact that the car came from the north eastern part of the country where the roads are treated during the winter which we used a wire wheel and some solvents to remove and give us a nice clean mounting surface for the new rotors. I did not get a chance to take pictures since it was dark so I'll post some later today.

Thank you very much TDS I could have not done this mod with out you!

Congrats "B". It was one of my favorite mods when I originally did it. I got a set I took off after my Brembo install. Hit me up if interested. Machine marks on rotor face still there.
