True. If I had it to do over I'd at the very least go to the bigger rotors on the 3.0T, if not a BBK.

Braking with the stock calipers and the Hawk pads I have on there has been great though (aside from the noise when cold/wet). I've had one extreme hard braking situation on the interstate, and it handled flawlessly.

I imagine with the slotted rotors (if the performance is even noticeable, coupled with the brembos and stainless steel Braided lines, the feel will be even better, even though I'm sticking with 320/300.

Okay, so I've got one vote facing front, and one vote facing rear.

Come one guys, chime in with a front or rear response here. I could really go either way.

Looking at the drilled patterns on the 911, they all face rear.

Let's get some votes in!! I have until Monday to decide. That's when it goes in for all the goodness to be plugged in. They have to keep it 2 days.

Please vote!

Took a poll at the custom car shop. They said they should face front to get the gases out properly. Every vehicle they do they set up this way they said.

Thats what I thought. I was taking for granted that the rotation was clockwise in picking from your picture in your first post. It just made sense.
