I noticed that too. The slots on the rotor seems to be going the wrong direction? at least not the way i normally see? (the picture showed your driver side, but that rotor should go onto the passenger side?) Anyone can confirm?

Thanks for the comments everyone. To answer a few questions...
I just switched classes...from STU to SM. What I meant by the STU comment was I still have the mentality...stuffing a certain size tire on whatever size rim you can fit under the fenders. I've been in STU since Jun of 05, so I'm aware of the ruleset...but thanks, as I appreciate the reminder...and I'm not being an *** either. I was going to wait until the end of the year to change classes, but missing out on the Atwater NT, and the fact that my 2nd child is due the same time as STU is scheduled to run at the Nationals, I decided to move now...and gradually prep the kaa...instead of installing everything at once. Plus...I was antzy to bump the boost up, thru in some cams, and add a bigger turbo.
Why the A048's...I wanted a R-compound tire that is somewhat competitive locally and still be able to run what you brung, as I don't have a second set of wheels. I'm well aware that I don't stand a chance on the National level...unless I did the rain dance before hand...and even then, I'm usually not that lucky. Local competition consists of Navid and Vic Sais and a few others that are National level drivers, and I know I don't even begin to compare to them, but they will make me faster...eventually.
I'll verify if the front rotors are stamped indicating sides, but I that's how I pulled them out of the boxes...thinking they were labelled correctly. That's what I get for thinking...thanks for pointing that out.

Your rotors are in right direction. Thats the signature of STOPTECH slotted setup
