well i bought some new "brembo" slotted and drilled rotors for my 89 S13 coupe, i heard awhile back the slotted and drilled were discontinued from brembo for the S13's i've tried searching to see if they were real or not but i cant finf anything, the side of the rotors have numbers stamped on the outer edge along with the brembo logo stamped as well, they look freakin great but i got my doubts, tried searching the part# on all four boxes but nothing comes up, also i mixed the rotors and boxes that were marked which are left side and which are right sided, which way are the slotted and drilled rotors supposed to point? thanks

They could be Brembo rotors that were D&S by a shop. Why don't you ask the person you bought them from?

I know a lot of shops such as ours that purchases brembo blanks and get them slotted and or cross drilled. You may have fakes on your hand. Who did you purchase these from?

got them from ebay from 88rotors, they don't look like the regular brembo blanks and they came in new brembo boxes with paperwork in them, nissan markings on all boxes also, seem legit but still questionable in mind, before i install them what direction should they be facing?

Go by the direction of the vents in the middle of the rotors not by which direction they are drilled then match the rears to the fronts since they're solid

88 rotors just buy blanks and D&S and zinc coat them, that's why they were so cheap. They are honest about it though, maybe you didn't read enough.

You're wrong... brembo makes em, you can even get brembos for your 240 from tirerack - they even have a drilled or slotted version of the brembos available (just checked for my 240 vert).

88rotors is a good place for cheap disposable rotors. I'm sure they wrote somewhere on their site that the drilling/slotting is aftermarket - come on, you should be able to tell since all of brembo's sport slotted or drilled rotors are gold zinced... and cost about 2-3 times as much per set.
