Directional Brembo Slotted Xdrilled Rotor

by **Poman13** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 9:13 pm

Today I noticed the direction of the slotted rotors on my car, looked like it's pointed to the wrong direction (backward). So I was just checking out every pics I could find here and other places. Looks like someone here has it installed the same direction as mine while everyone else's are all the other way around. Which way is it suppose to point to??? Pics would help! Thanks!

i'm not really familiar wit these but i'm going to take a wild crack at it. since i don't have pics imagine this: stand next to ur driver door outside ur car lookin at the front of ur car(hood). point ur right finger at ur hood now. i think the whole should be in the direction of ur finger. that way while the car is moving and u hit the brakes wind would be pushed into the whole from the rotating of the rims in that direction.

that's jus a wild guess though.

by the way, which way are ur holes pointing?

mine are on reversed as well. Why? simply b/c i like to live life dangerously.

the real story is b/c of the incompetent workers at discount tire does not know what the F*** the difference b/w "L" and "R" is. i haven't noticed them till i rotated the tires myself. stupid arseholes. and it is pretty much too late to set them the correct way, since the brake pads have adjusted and broken into the reverse way.

Is that why your brakes felt like sh*t in San Marino?

Looks like the holes and slots are pointing at my finger! :-?

So what would happen if I change it back the right way?

check out my cardomain site. the pict of the wheel on the bottom of the first page is the front pass wheel. those rotors were installed correctly, that's how it should look!

I had the same exact thing and now I'm not sure what I wanna do. Its been a few months and a couple thousand miles. I'm thinking make the mechanic pay for new pads

LOL yeah right that'll happen

Hehe in fact it's your car I saw with the rotors same way as mine.... seems to be running fine though. I'm sure it will look better if we go reverse!

Does anyone have a really good shot of the rotors that installed correctly? I haven't install my rotors yet and want to make sure they install them the right way.

it is very simple to not get the rotors mixed up. where the hub of the rotor is there are labels "L andR. any normal person would be able to tell... just some idiotic mechanic who doesnt know jack shissce about his alphabet, well you get my drift.
