There seemed to be some question as to the weight of the rear rotors. My bathroom scale shows a 5 lb reduction from factory to Z1.

Tip on the install. you will probably have to back off the star wheels adjuster on the emergency brake. Check the tension on the brake assembly before re mounting the tires. On the rear I used the old caliper pins as the ones Z1 sent in the kit were too long and looked silly stickin out of the caliper.

She will be getting a wheel alignment tomorrow & then brake break in.
Nice! I think the rotors are directional I'm not 100% sure but u might want to check it before doing the alignment and brake in...?

I believe them to be backwards as well. Based on their pictures on the site. The cooling vanes need to be angled towards the rear in order to evacuate heat from the rotor. If they were straight vaned I don't think it would matter which direction the slots ran, but they appear to be curved from the pics.
