So, you purchased rotors that were removed from the box, drilled full of holes, put back in the box, and the box taped shut and sent to you.

Isn't that what you intended to purchase?

Something to keep in mind about these purely cosmetic items(copy/paste from tirerack):

While grooved, drilled and slotted rotors offer an enhanced appearance and add some resistance to the boundary layer of gasses that can build up between the pad and rotor, they are not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures that are produced on the racetrack.

Also, you got the previous style rather then the new rotors brembo now has. The updated one come with check points where you know how much depth you have left on your rotors... OEM Brembo blanks would have done you just fine.

Just wanted to add that little info to it.
