darn it....I am waiting to get the install pics I took from my buddy...He was shooting the Modified magazine shootout 2 weeks ago and the redline time attack last weekend.
In the mean time I got promoted to working 60 hours plus a week and haven't had much in the way of down time.
UI used them for the NASA AZ track weekend right after I installed them and loved them. I ddin't seem to get the slight brake fade I have started to experience (after a 20 minute session ever since I switched to the Project Mu Club Racer pads.
I will have more thorough tested/feed back in 3 weeks after the next event.
For the Money these are awesome for the price!
and yes...the vanes are supposed to go that direction....I even confirmed it with another brake company.
I will be purchasing a matching set of rears before the next event as well

I bought the car with 42000 miles on the car in Oct 2008...as the local NASA AZ tech chief, I attend every event and average 100-200 miles a weekend on track. We have 10 track weekends a year......so I have easily 2000 plus miles from track use...not to mention the 67000 plus street miles......
maybe im not braking hard enough =)

these things a good idea? normally the entrance for air is in the back of the rotor, and i think everyone does it that way for a reason. also, lots of people have brake ducting, and that directs air to the back, where the vanes and air entrances normally are. this probably makes ducting less effective. why did they cover the back and have the vents in the front?
waiting for explanation...

the promised install pics
About to start the process...........
man is it dark in here....maybe I should have done this during the day.......
too weak to loosen caliper bracket bolts, so I asked my rocket scientist buddy to loosen them....(yes...he really is a rocket scientist )Hmmmmmm maybe I should actually go to the gym instead of talking about it.
I am not putting these damn screws back in.....
comparison picture....out with the old and in with the new
re-installation pics
oooooohhhhhh shiny new parts
all done
after a track event and 2 weeks of Daily driving

Rotor will be secured once you bolt the wheel on.
Having the screw in just makes swapping rotors next time more troublesome especially if its rusted.
@Kinetic
did you measure temperature differences?

Ask google, and you shall receive. The directionality of it makes sense, the rotor has angled vanes, and the inside of the rotor has holes in it, see last pic on post #15. I believe it would be a sort of "fan" effect, pulling air into it and forcing it out the vents, not entirely sure tho. Waiting for SOS to hop in on this....
