Help me pls!! rotor install

by **s15lara** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 7:25 pm

so i bought slotted and cross drilled rotors from R1concepts and am in the process of installing them right now. now i know how to change pads and rotors but im REALLY stumped right now. I have no idea which rotor goes on the left and which goes on the right. The box came with no instructions and i checked the rotors and there are no markings that let me know which side is which. can anyone help? pls? i'd greatly appreciate it.

here is a pic.

top are rear rotors and bottom are front rotors. but which go to the left and which go to the right? pls help....

No I think it's

bottom right is drivers front
then top right is driver rear.

bottom left is passenger front
and top left is passenger rear

Check if the vains are curvy or not....if they are straight then it doesn't matters.

This is what I was basing my knowledge off of- brembos are vained this direction, so thats the way they are installed:

you need to find out who they're made by... power slots are installed going the opposite way of brembos.

in other words, if you look at the slots from the side, it slants towards the back.

I bought the rotors from R1 concepts. The veins are not diagonal. They just go straight down. so i guess that it doesnt matter? When i look at the rotors from a top view, the veins are going straight down and when i look at it from the back of the rotor, its the same thing. so i guess they are not derectionally veined.

OK. just got off the phone with R1 and they said that since the rotors are NOT directional, that it really makes no diffrence. what they did say is that they found that its better if the slot or cross drilled part closest to the hub come in contact w/ the rotor first. So....for example: if you put the rotor in front of you w/ the slot at the 12 o clock and you look at it, if the slot is slanting to your left, then that is your driver side. soooo....hmmmm....I trust dats and camryonbronze, so i guess that i might just go w/ their advice. thx guys. anyone else have any input?
