After hitting a couple of walls over the past two weeks... everything fell into place this weekend and I was able to get a lot accomplished in just one day. I got the front and rear suspension completed with 4 disc brakes installed. Its funny how the front right suspension can take me 2 weeks just to install and I do the rest of the car in one day. Got to love Murphy's law!

Are the Wilwood rotors all the same? It looks like the ones in your photo's are on the wrong side. They should turn so that air moves from the center of the rotor to the outside, not pull air from the outer edges.

There is an arrow on the brake rotors that are supposed to be going the direction of travel and that's how I put them. Just to be sure I rechecked the instructions and my rotors and everything matches up.

ok.... now you got me second guessing myself... lol. anyone know if I did this right or wrong? I thought I was sure but as soon as someone says its not right you can never get it out of your head until someone confirms it as right or wrong. thanks

You had a couple issues getting started a couple weeks ago, correct?

Sounds like your past that now and looks like your moving forward.
Just, keep at it. It will work out in the end.

Looks good!
When you run into an issue, walk away for a bit.
Or work on another project for a little while.
Just don't work on it when you are mad or frustrated.
Been there, done that.

Eventually you'll figure it out and may even come up with a better solution.

Mine's been licensed since April and I've got almost 3k miles on it already! Really enjoy driving it.
Here's some motivation from our cruise last weekend.

If that is how the direction show, then they should be correct.
