I need to know asap what one is the drivers side?

hmm..now if only i could recall which way the bleed screw is supposed to face from the factory..up or down...*scratches head*

sorry!

my guess would be the red one

When placed on the car the one that has the bleeder at the top will be in the correct place. Looks like the red is the drivers side from the pics.

Red looks like the drivers side. That would make black the left, but can't tell for sure since I can't see where the bleed valve is located in the picture.

You want the bleed screw to be on top of the caliper when mounted since air rises. If the bleed screw is on the bottom of the caliper when mounted you'll never get them bled.

Also, with these calipers you want to mount them so that the pin that retains the caliper to the mounting bracket is on the trailing edge of the caliper/rotor, and not the leading edge.

The previous owner must have had these on a Mustang. These are Mustang calipers and on the Mustang the caliper is mounted behind the strut tower, vs in front of on the SHO. That's why you have to switch them. If you mount them as marked your bleed screws will be on the bottom.

MAKE SURE YOU MOUNT THE BRACKETS SO THAT THE PIN IS ON THE TRAILING EDGE AND NOT THE LEADING EDGE!!!
