They way they shipped rear calipers, aluminum disks are damaged.

1. Do you think it is safe to install like this? Why R1 so stupid packing 3 thousand dollar BBK kits.

2. Also it seems that I have to switch brake lines from bottom to top since "direction of travel sticker" is pointing in wrong direction?

Passenger side installed. Seems to be sticker must be on top? then it means pre-installed brake lines must be switched?

the calipers appear to be installed correctly. You want the bleed points facing up, which they are and the rotation sticker is correct.

Oh shit you're right, that pic is looking to the front, I thought it was looking back. Something is off.
