is there a correct or incorrect way to install the rotors?



which one goes on which side? does it matter? just curious.

 

slots go ALONG the braking and NOT against the braking

 

the one on the left goes on ur driver side, the right goes on the pass side

 

there usually markings stamp on the rotor stating either L for left and R for right....and if there is not then my guess in the pic, is the left is for left side....i have power slot on my car and the marking where stamp on the rotor....so yes it does matter which direction they go....good luck

 

F*ckin DOPE!!!

 

suposidly you can do it either way. the intended way is for the slots/fins to fan out. I heard in japan that some people do it the opposite way. the logic behind this is that it cuts air into the rotor rather than out of the rotor.

edit: why is this in the apperance forum?

 

thank for the replies guys!! time to put these babies onnn

i don't know. lol

 

hmm.. so are the following cars with slotted/drilled rotors on backwards??

 

... not hard to install, one say L for left side, and the other R for right side... not rocket science

No doubt...they should say it on them.

Why would they work any different if they were flipped around the other way?

 

Unless there are directional vanes inside the rotor (which yours don't have), then it makes absolutely no difference what side the slots go on...

 

oh ok, thanks again!

 

it all depends on the fins..... if there directional then u have to put them on that way. if there just straight up then it doesn't matter.

 

bump for a final answer.. so all the pics i posted are installed wrong, correct?

btw, there are no stamps that say which side they should go on because these are actually brembo blanks that were professionally drilled and slotted.

 

you can install them either way. one way fans air out the other forces air in. different methods of cooling. kind of like fans for your car, one can push air the other can pull air.
