Ok, I know I have special needs and all, but I just don't get what I'm looking at. Is there a hub that is part 2 of these rotors? I just picked up the set and bailed with em. Now I'm looking at them and I think they're wrong.
This first pic is of the stock front (upper left corner), middle two are the rears (vented and larger width than stock) and the two in the upper right are the new fronts. Oh yeah, and I'm a stock 4-lugger. What am I missing? And Aaron don't give me that "steve, steve, steve'' b.s.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) yep......must have been dreaming of a 911 when you ordered those 2 rotors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) of course now would be good time to get the V-caliper kit from Eric and then you can keep those rotors..... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) thank you I'll be here all night...try the veal. miles told me a joke... "SO a penguin was driving his caddy thru the desert. haulin ass!. he sees the temp climb into the red and see's a service station up ahead. pulls over. tosses the keys to the mechanic. and says fix it. goes inside the convenience store....sees the ice cream freezer. hops in, and chows away on some ice cream. makes a huge mess on his face, while stayin cool.... eventually gets out, tosses a 20 at the counterperson...and goes to check on his car. mechanic slides out from under the car.... gives him a look. says "You blew a seal" penguin says. "No. its ice cream" LOL |
