What direction should my slots go?
Does it matter which way the slots on slotted rotors go? I have been told it doesmt really matter. Any help?
Thanks

I don't think it really matters.
I personally would like them to swipe the pad from the top down.

How can you change it? Unless you have two sets with mirrored cuts, I don't see how you can change it.

If that rotor is on the front passenger side, the it was installed on the wrong side of the car....... But if it works though.......

Awhile back when I looked into slotted rotors I heard people go both ways on this issue...

"Inside tip of the slot hits the brake pad first."
"No, it's the outside tip that hits first."

And on and on. I don't race or anything and besides, Phuong at GR Racing told me to install them this way.
