Default brake rotor ?

does the rotor have the 2 screws in it or is it a floating rotor?

Make sure to get an impact screw driver otherwise you'll strip them out.

But they aren't necessary. Just be sure that you run either both of them or neither of them. If running without, take care to put your wheel(s) back on snugly, i.e. tighten each lug a little bit at a time in rotation until the wheel is flush with the rotor hat.

, and if you do put the screws back on, do yourself a favor and put some anti-seize on them

On most of my cars after replacing the rotors (honda) I haven't used the screws and have been fine over the last 5 years on over 7 different Honda's. No big deal, but be sure to put your wheels on tightly and torque down to recommended OE specs.

from what i have heard that all the screws do is hold the rotor in place when the vehicle is going down the production line. you're god to leave them off
