The rotors should have a L or an R designating their sides. FWIW, my Mugen replacement rotors go the other direction.

Re: (Casey)
Judging by this pic, I'd say Casey is correct on his setup. Now we know.
AGBS and Mugen replacement rotors are slotted in diffrent directions.
I wonder why?

Re: (get RIGHT)
I always angle my slots forward no matter what. (even if the kit is labeled the other way)
Racing teams do this, as they believe the "slots" facing forward will clean the pads whenever the brakes are used. Makes sense to me, so that is how I roll.

The direction of the slots is not as critical as the direction of the cooling vanes. If the vanes are not directional, then in most instances the slots should be pointing so that that the the outermost edge encounters the pads first, like this:

that^ rotor is facing the wrong direction, like stated above the inside vanes are the most important but if there not directional then the outside slots should be so that the outermost part cuts into the pad first

Re: (get RIGHT)
lets be honest now, how much of a difference do we SERIOUSLY expect there to be by changing the slots on the rotor ?
if you swapped them back to back, got somebody to drive and say if they felt a difference, do we reckon that we could tell?

Re: (tartje)
There seems to be a pretty big diffrence of opinion here.
I'm IN for the correct answer. Whatever that may be. Even if it turns out that one goes one way and one goes the other. There has to be a reason.
