I just got my Brembro Cross drilled and slotted rotors. Does anyone have any pic of which way they go or rotate, the instructions dont say, and they dont say right or let. Any help would be appreciated.

 

they rotate that way


the aem kit is all brembo stuff, just labeled AEM (and if you dont believe me i'll take the pic of the word "BREMBO" bubbled up in plastic on top of the caliper..

Even the rotors?

 

Look at the vanes. Most likely they wont be directional. If the vanes aren't directional then the rotors are not directional, the direction of the slots/holes don't have any effect as they only release gas from the pads.

 

slotted and drilled rotors are almost always directional...

 

Depends on the brand really. Mine are. Of course, I am taking my off soon and throwing them in the trash cause they suck more than OEM brembos.. but still.

 

LOL

The slots and holes are simply for looks. These calipers don't have enough clenching force to cause such gas buildup that they are heavily affecting braking performance anyway. The weak point of Honda's brakes is the small caliper force as well as brake surface area. The slots and drilled holes simply reduce the already precious surface area. So unless you have 14" Ceramic rotors, don't bother.

Best budget setup:
Bembo OEs
Hawk HPS (for street use/autoxer)

Edit: There was a huge 50 post+ discussion about slotted versus uncut rotors a few months back but I think it was lost. There was a lot of good information about everything.

Agreed. They were also good back in the day when all race pads were super gaseous. mm taco bell brake pads.
