I installed my brakes not long ago. They look great and hopefully will work just as great once I bleed them out.

what do you need big brakes for?? cops arent supposed to go that fast :P
lol thats what i was going to ask. I have a 11 sec car with 4cyl brakes. come to think of it i may not be the smartest guy. downshifting to 2nd seems to slow car down quick enough. btw those look good. after i get some 87-93 spindles in my car i'll get a decent set of brakes.

I am making 500 hp and yet today's V6 mustangs have better brakes than my car had. I figured I had to do something about that. Plus the stockers look terrible and weigh a ton!
 
those look awesome, bet that car will stop on a dime with 9 cents change now.

If you were Castro from Unique Whips (Speed Channel), you'd say you put the Brembro's on there ....i wanna hit him in the face every time he says it.

Every car I have seen has them going the way I do, which is the way Brembo recommends as well.
do the rotors have straight or curved cooling vains? i'm not trying to be an ass here, but if you have them on backwards it will overheat the rotor.

this is the first time i have ever seen a gas slot/or drill with the leading edge at the top. all the oe and aftermarket stuff i have seen has the leading edge at the bottom. i know that means nothing, but they usually mahine the slots the same direction as the cooling vain--if it is curved.

Brembo's internal slots curve backwards, towards the rear of the car. They want the leading edge (top) of the slot on the outside of the rotor to contact the caliper first.

Here is a pic of another car for reference
