Re: Centric drilled and slotted rotors complete with posi quiet brake pad set for sale
All this talk about rotors...
As Marc said...On our na Crossfires the rotors DO NOT have directional cooling vanes inside therefore the direction of the slots is optional.
Just be sure you install the front drivers side and rear drivers side with the slots the SAME way.
Same goes for the passenger front and rear.
I chose to install with the slots pointing forward as the wheel comes around to the top.
My theory is that brake dust if any would be thrown toward the inner hub and not the outer side of the rotor and onto the wheels.
I have had absolutely NO brake dust NO noises and the rotors are shiny and still look like new with hundreds of miles already on them.
Here are my install pics: Post 77
Also some good info can be found here:
How to properly install plain, slotted, or drilled brake rotors
In summary......
The direction of the slots on the outside of the rotor do not dictate whether the rotor is a left or a right.
For slotted rotors with straight internal cooling vanes (NA rotors) the direction of the slots is totally up to you and what you think looks best.
In this case, there is no wrong answer.
Bottom line - don't use the slots to decide which side to mount the rotor. Pay attention to the internal cooling vanes.
