Fully ready for winter now with new shift knob. That is a super easy and quick install!
new ? Not used? Or reconditioned? Reputable dealer?
Replaced the rear brake caliper and installed Sakebomb SST brakelines. Fitment isn’t the best and its lacking the guide pin found on the OEM line.
Attempted to install the Gyrodisc front rotors but ran into an issue... it doesn’t appear to fully seat on the wheel hub. Thinking the bore angle might be off. It results in the rotor not being properly spaced inside the Brembo caliper..
Unfortunately Gyrodisc is closed Fridays so will likely have to wait until Tuesday for an answer if doing something wrong or if there is a problem with the rotors
Gyrodisc. Not sure if the rotor relies on the pads to center it... but this doesn’t seem correct. Was looking like this with pads installed..
OEM Rotor. Felt it fully seat when reinstalled it. Centered perfectly.

Goodbye warm weather - time for the ol' All Seasons.
I added red Enkei Racing stickers to my rims and I really think it makes them pop in a way they didn't before. Those stickers should be included from the factory on this model as well.
I just think you didn't have the rotor seated no the hub all the way.Brand new. Ordered direct from Girodisc.
Will attempt another install this weekend, then reach out to them Tuesday if still having issues.

Did u clean the hub with a wire brush on a drill or scrub pad? it also helps if you apply some anti seize on the hub after cleaning and use a rubber mallet to lightly sit the rotor onto the hub.
another trick is to bolt the wheel on to help sit the rotors and then give it a spin to see if it spins true. I had to do that once on my old car.We cleaned with wire brush. I’m going to attempt it again tonight. Brought some Emory cloth to sand the hub down. Hopefully that will do the trick

I know how it feels when shit doesn't go right while wrenching on your own car and you've been excited about those rotors! I am glad it all worked out in the end and those rotors look so good on the car too.Thank you Mario_Kart, followed your suggestions and it did the trick! Owe you one buddy
Looks perfect now.. crossing my fingers. Thanks again!
