The R/L on the knockoffs pertains to the threads used on the respective pieces, not the side of the car they go on. Right hand threads/left hand threads. They are installed so that they attempt to "tighten" as the car travels forward, consequently L/H threads are required on the R/H side of the carand R/H threads on the L/H side of the car. Be sure to use anti sieze on the threads and tapered surfaces of the lug nuts/adapter hub and the wheel and knock off. It's a little messy however it will save a lot of grief, and allow the parts to be disassembled when desired.

The R/L for the Brembo's pertains to the venting of the rotors, the vanes are designed to rotate at speed in one particular direction and force air though the vanes inside the rotor.
