brake rotor slot direction

i installed my new rotors and brakes a while ago and saw that in a picture of another xb the rotor slots where facing the other direction. are mine wrong or does the direction matter. this is probably a stupid question but i thought that i would check. thank you



if you cant really tell in the picture i made this



and see how cinders go the other direction

Thats funny, I have had the same exact question. I have them facing the same way as Cinder and it has been bugging the hell out of me because I think they might be backwards.

They should BE Marked "R" & "L"

Cinder has his going Backwards...

okay, i dont remember there being markings. I guess i will flip them. anybody else have input?

Here's a picture of the First day I installed my PowerSlots...U can see the "L" stamp on the Rotor....And see that the slotts are going in the correct direction!

So I have mine done the right way?

yeah, you have them on right, mine are the same way as yours....

Yup, you have them on the correct way.

According to Cinder, the rotors actually go backwards so that they have "more bite". Does someone have some type of documentation about this?

never heard that before........ maybe a difference in mfg?

i guess the only way to find out is to see who crashes first. then we'll know who has them on right.

or rips the brake pads out of the calipers!!!!!!

hahaha! that too! good luck guys!

mine are stamped R and L too, their on correctly, notice how the powerslots veins do the edge of the rotor, to expel gass, and their fore have the veins facing the rear, my veins do not reach the edge, and are engineered to work better with a semi or race compound pad (which i have EBC GREENS) which require an initial warm up to work properly, having the veins the way mine are elimantes that warm up time becuase theirs a little more bite, i dont get brake fade, and when i get on the brakes alittle, i can stop reall really really fast. its by mfg spec, or your preference, i always thought the same way you guys do, but i talked to and asked alot of people who race, auto-x, etc. and vein tip forward is for bite, and shorter hard drive times, veins facing rear is for longer endurance racing, to when the rotor would heat up more by sheer time then brake pressure. hope that clears things up. if you want, i can give you guys a ride and romp on the brakes lol.

thank you everyone for the help and cinder so your saying is that it really doesn't matter you can do it either way right thanks man.

Drumbrakes FTMFW!!!

What brakes, I just use my feet like Caveman to stop the car, grunt!

haha!

ya if you really look at it like that, then it doesnt really matter which way they rotate.

haha fixed woops.

hahha, sry, i just saw the white xb av, and it sounded like something kirby would say. i fixed it tho lol.
