with most new rotors in big brakes or aftermarket rotors...does it matter which direction the pattern is going? cauz i wilwoods have an arrow pointing against the way the wheel is rolling. should that be right, on the wilwood diagrams it has it like that. i thought about it and it seems that the slots r there for a reason...to cool the rotor down more by air pattern? am i right? ...kind of a weird question, but it seems like an h-t type of question

The slots are not there for cooling actually.. They are designed to carry the gasses away from the pads and allow for a full contact patch on the rotor. They are directional, I know that much. I am not sure exactly what direction they should be facing however. If you have matched it to the install diagram then I don't think you have much to worry about... Although the arrow should be pointing in the direction of rotation... Strange.

yup, it points against the way it should or looks like it should be going. weird huh? any1?
