Cool, thats what I thought too, thanks.

Here's one for ya...
When I was going through the rotors, I decided to use some of the comp. seals from the S5 rotors, cause they had less mileage on them. I used the side seals and corner seals.
The question is, does it matter if I lost track of the exact place that each seal went on the rotor?
Imo, this used to be a big no-no. And I did used to keep track of them in previous builds.
This time I purposely lost track of where they go, I found it easier to just take em off and put em on.
Imo, it might matter in the case of the side seals and corner seals, since the side seals have been trimmed to fit.
So in my case, when I put it back together, I guess will it be a "best clearance" issue with each side to corner seal.

What do you think about this?
