If you have Brembo Sport Rotors (drilled or slotted), HELP!!

Postby nkx1 » Wed Oct 25, 2006 2:23 pm

I have a question on Brembo Sport rotors for the Solara:

I installed Brembo Sport cross drilled rotors for my '99 Solara, and the drilling pattern for the front rotors is opposite on each side; the drivers side pattern faces frontward, and the passenger side pattern faces rearward.

Does your front rotor pattern go the opposite direction on the driver side than the passenger side?

I'm kind of curious to see if they actually sent me 2 left rotors. They assured me they didn't, but I really don't think the pattern should be oposite on each side of the car. Both of the rear rotor patterns face forward. :-?

Thanks.

I have Sport drilled from Brembo.
What are you talkin' about.
The leadin' drilled holes should face forward.
Take some pictures man, can't help unless there are pictures....
Will take some of mine when i get home.

I think he is saying "picture these EXACT rotors on both sides"

If you put this rotor on the other side it will be turning/facing the opposite way. Like putting tire on backwards and the tread rolling the opposite way.

Solarafreek, that is exactly what I am talking about, thanks. The driver side front rotor faces forward, and the passenger rotor faces the oposite way.

Sleepersolara: If you could take pics of the rotors on your car, that would be really cool.

That way I can show the pics to Brembo and prove that they actually did send me two left rotors instead of a left and a right. Up until now, they refuse to admit that they sent me two left ones, and insist that the pattern is correct, even though it is facing the wrong way on the passenger side.

I plan on doing that sleeper. But they insist that I'm wrong.

I just need to prove to them that they sent me two left ones, and that someone else who has the exact same rotors as me received the correct ones.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the pics sleeper.

Unfortunately, when I first posted this, I already had installed these on my car.

I think I may be forced to leave them as-is, since they are now used. I really don't want to pay more $$ for a new rotor; Brembo will probably just say it's my fault for not noticing it before installation. It sucks though, since it's tough to notice something like that before the rotors are installed.
