Re: New Disc Italia Rotors Installed

To add to Brian the Brave's post... Each manufacturer can be different. I DID follow the instructions from DiscItalia. I would have to pull the wheels to look at the vanes in the rotors, but the instruction sheet stated for the rotation to be based on the slot direction. I'm sure the reason they did this is that it's the easier to see a visual like the slots than to remove the wheel and check the vane direction.

Cheers!

MMZ_Timelord,

I am going to put them on the way you have them. I think that looks best to me and I received an email from the company I bought from and they told me to put them on that way as well.

I really like them so far. As for the calipers, I really wanted to redo them, but my install was rushed. As soon as I can and I get into my new house I am going to pull it all back off and repaint the calipers and polish the rotors.
