I see you are not using the factory brake line guides on the strut. Just make sure the line cannot get caught up on the wheel or anything else on full suspension compression and full steering lock, both directions. Also, are you sure you have the rotors on the correct side? While that slotting pattern is sometimes used, it is more common to have the slots running in the opposite direction.

Re: got new brakes on

You cannot go by the slot direction. There are plenty of rotors out there where the vanes are opposite of the slot direction. The only sure fire way to know which direction they are supposed to run is to look at the pattern of the vanes. The vanes should run in the direction shown in Ron USMC's picture.
