I'm planning to upgrade my rotors for rotora rotors slotted rotors since they seem to be good quality rotors out there. However, I was wondering if anyone could tell me which rotor goes in which. They either go '/' this way or '\' this way.
thanks.

 

This rotational direction <- The slots face this way "\"

 

thanks for your input.
I'm getting confused though because I see this picture and it is opposite direction from your statement.

 

many people have it different directions.. on my LEXUS IS300 I have it going against the direction the wheel spins for faster stopping.. but it wears out your pads faster... On my TL.. I have it going with the wheel spinning direction.. Hope this helps..

 

So, it doesn't really matter which direction I set them as?
Got a quick question for you.
If I put them on wheel spinning direction, should I put all 4 rotors spinning on the same direction? or one side to wheel spinning direction and the other side against wheel spinning direction is fine?

 

as far as I know.. it doesnt matter which way you mount them. I'd stick with having both sides spinning the same direction.. like both front against for fast stopping and have them with the wheel direction on the back.. (<--- my setup)

 

search first! That's okay though. I know the search tool may have a little trouble finding out more on this one. You should have them facing the front of the car per Rotora.

 

thanks.
search either brought no result or too many results that I spent over an hour to find correct one.

 

Do you have rotora rotors as well?
Does it stop much better when you had front ones at against direction and rear ones at wheel direction?
thanks.

 

I dont have ROTORA rotors but I have X-Drilled and Slotted that are OEM size and all which I had made by a seller on EBAY.. and I stop pretty quick with my setup.. I can really tell against stock.. and another thing is I don't have the weird braking pattern with my stock rotors.. liek before when I held the brake, my car kinda shook and it was like ABS was on.. but it wasnt.. So I'm happy.. I'm using "The Geen Stuff" pads.. hope this helps!

 

it depends on the INSIDE direction of the rotors...the inside vents should be /// so that they can dissapate heat correctly. The outside direction comes second.

 

like this...

thats a cross section of the rotor...

 

Thanks for your input.
So, you are saying that putting them on wheel spinning direction on all four of rotors should be the right way?

 

 

Facing forward gives better stopping power but wears down the pads quicker
Facing backward provides longer life of the pads but stopping power is not as good

 

thanks...
I should put front ones on against wheel direction and rears ones on wheel direction just like AznBella did.

The internal cooling vanes on the Rotora's are not directional like in the diagram. From what I understand Stoptech Rotors are directional

 

like mny have said, it doesnt matter what way you face them, 1 way will give you better stoping power (after repeated fast stops) the other way will be alot easier on your pads. what ever way you do it keep them all going the same direction

 

I have been wondering the same thing.

I appreciate everyones input on this one.

 

Chet03TL-S is right. The pic is of the cooling vanes inside the disc, not the slots on the rotor surface. It's more important to mount discs with directional cooling vanes the correct direction than slots but slots should be mounted where when the rotor is turning, the slot first contacts the pad at the outer edge of the rotor.

I bought my Rotoras direct from Rotora and the individual boxes were marked with the wheel position they were designed for; they're implying that the rotors go a particular direction.

 

thanks.
