If you don't have the Z51 package, no problem. I took my Eradispeed's off of my 01 vert and put them on my C6 vert. As you know they look great!

Thanks
Thanks;
Your new ride looks way
btw will the calipers fit also? I've gone to great expense to have mine powder coated and would like to reuse them as well.

I'm not sure about the calipers. Check with your dealer and have them check the part number for the C5 & C6 calipers. From just looking at them it looks as if they'd fit.

You put them on backwards too. I know that they have a left and right sticker that told you to put them on this way, but the slots should face away from the hub as the wheel turns, not towards it.

They are installed correctly.

I don't think thery're on wrong. Go check out the Baer website and if you look at all the photo's of the vehicles they're all on the same way as mine.

I KNOW they're on correctly, because I installed mine properly and they look exactly like that!
Take a look at my gallery by clicking the "My Corvette Photos" to the left under my avatar. You can see pictures of my DSOM coupe with Baer EradiSpeeds on it.
That's the way Baer designed, engineered, and built them to be installed.

well then are these installed wrong? It's a porsche carrera gt
I say the air should be pushed from innermost hole to outermost hole. Or Maybe it doesn't make a difference?

I didn't say you installed them incorrectly. You installed them the way the instructions said to. The veins should sweep away from the hub as the wheel rotates. You are not going to notice the difference one way or the other. It more important that the cooling fins should capture air as the wheel rotates to cool the rotors more efficiently. Unlike the 4 left side rotors on the Z51.

These Eradispeed rotors were installed the way they were designed to be installed. It doesn't matter which way the slots or holes are slanted, what matters is the direction of the internal ventilation. Here is a good explanation of how the Baer rotors are meant to be installed: http://www.baer.com/Support/TechTips.aspx?TechTipID=2
