ok i installed these drilled and slotted rotors and they didnt come with instrutions so i searched here and got mixed reviews, so here is the question, which direction is the rotor suppose to face? does is matter? i have these one for almost a month and have no problems but when i see other cars or other pics, they are goin the other way. ive searched here and googled andeven got on hondas forum and sill its a mix review. here is a pic of how they are installed now.



and yes the car is very dirty.

 

you have 'em set right...

 

your rims r bent tho

 

Ya that's how i have mine, I have seen them the other way though...

 

yeah i know there bent, thats what happens when u buy used rims, the guy must of hit something hard cuz all 4 of them are bent but i got them for 20 bucks so im cool with it

would it matter anyway if it was installed the other way

 

You have it on rite. I'm gonna go slotted. Where did you get the rotors from?

 

if your really worried about which way just take a look at some racecars that has 'em

 

I don't know if it makes a difference which way they face, but they do look sweet.

 

The instructions with the Stoptech kit says that the slots face the opposite direction that you have, so it looks like it is cutting into the pads.

Different manufacturers may have different instructions, but the most important factor in which direction rotors face are the cooling vanes between the rotor surfaces.

If the vanes aren't angled (completely vertical from the outer surface to the inner), direction isn't as big of an issue.

If the vanes are angled, then they should be installed to allow for greater ventilation (from the center out).

Then you have the weird designed ventilation (cooling) vanes:

i have mine set up the other way, i have tried both ways and i feel the other way has a better initial bite

 

well it feels 20 times better then stock anyway.

 

agreed, slotted feels so much better than smooth. btw i really like those carbon fenders

 

thanks. and thanks to everyone else that replied.
