Looks great!

You can buy a switch blank that fits that hole where your factory fader switch used to be. It is slightly smaller than the other holes so you need that specific switch blank, unless you are savvy enough to modify another switch blank to fit.

HAHA Thnx man,

I did loose some some power since they are bit heavyer than my phone dials, but my the steering feels much better for some reason...maybe the extra weight on the front?
Plus my car does not shake anymore due to the old tires that got flat spotted when I spun out.

What's up with the drill pattern on the rotors? Did they come from zimmerman like that? Are you certain they are zimmerman rotors?

Maybe mine are the ones that are not zimmerman...

I was wondering about that, but yes they are German zimmerman for sure it has the stamp, I guess they make different patterns...??? I wonder how they differ in performance....

My zimmerman fronts dont look like that but im pretty sure they use different drill patterns for the different sized routers, my fronts are different then the rears too.
