^^^noticed that after the fact. corrected now...
i dont think it matters really what side they are put on...but as you see the slotted direction the evo rotors are going are backwards which tells me you put the wrong side rotor on there.
your stock set-up is correct...
when i did mine the rotors where labled R&L
:P i did the same mistake you did and had to change them :)

cool...question did your break pedal become a bit softer after you installed the brembos???
mines got a lot softer and sometimes i have to push all the way down to stop or double pump the brake pedal..the car stops fine...its just not as sensitive as the stock set up...maybe i need to re-bleed the whole system again...but i also hear its due to the master cylinder not having enough pressure to push the fluid to these massive calipers...changing to an evo booster and master cylinder should fix the problem 100%...

x2 re-bleed your system.
It does matter, most Evo and performance oriented rotors in general have directional cooling veins sandwiched in between the rotor and have to face a certain direction in order to work properely, the direction of the slots on the outside of the rotor doesnt mean anything. Thats why the rotor with black caliper has an R on it. I dont know which rotor the other one is, it looks like an older Power Slot but they usually stamp the orientation on the hub of the rotor. It may even have straight veins in which case it doesnt matter which way they face. I'd check with the instruction sheet, the label of the box they came in or contact the manufacturer to get the final say.
Looking good so far though! Keep it up bro
Nice brakes bro! Nice upgrade!

Thanks everyone. Yes it did get a lil softer the break pedal. after a second bleed is way better now. Breaking system is a super plus.
Quick question, does anyone know what wheel offset is needed to clear these Brembos? My searching isn't coming up with a clear answer.

Yeah i have the g35 rims offset +30 and is a close one. Is a trial and error. Best place to look for one is evom since all their rims are just for brembos. U could get a idea of their rims offset.
Ahh, I can see that, how they curve the spokes and all, thanx for the answers fellas!

My wheels are +32 offset and clear they brembos by a lot. One thing I looked for when I bought my rim was the space between the back of the spokes and where the rim contacts the rotor.
