Attn: x-drilled/slotted rotors owner, directions?

I got the completed 4 set from raceconcepts.net, and believed I may have put the rotors on the wrong side after doing some research here.
On my driver side both the rotors face this direction in my cheesy drawing, plz tell me if this is right or not, thanks!

I heard some people say it doesn't matter which direction. I don't know about that. Anyway, I have the Stillen rotors and mine are in the opposite direction to yours.

Okay here is a better picture of what it looks like on the driverside. Remember, these are from raceconcepts.net. Front rotors are Brembo fully x-drilled/slotted, rears are EMC fully x-drilled/slotted.

What is your config like, please edit my pic and show me yours and if it is the proper way, or like Mtrai who said its okay.

Another stupid question, if its labeled LH I assume it means Left Hand side, so would that be Driver or Passenger side? Don't worry, I do know the difference in front or rear rotors, just not the sides.



Thanks,
ßaller, need info asap since I will be at mechanic tomorrow to adjust the wheel nut, so he can swap for me, thanks!

Left is the driver side. I believe you have them on backwards. Even my x-drilled which were labeled L & R face forward, not backwards like yours do. The swipe should be from top to bottom.

I had the same concern when I got rotors for my Z. I called Brembo and was told that the swip should be top to bottom.

i do not believe it matters... but i have mine on the opposite way because the box labeled the like that.. it really depends on the direction of the vents in the rotors..

As everybody else stated... It doesn't matter...

It only matter if the vanes are directional (our stocks are not) in which case it would matter.
