I am need to change rotor and pad soon in my TL because the rotor are warped, I did my home work and found out that slotted rotor is the best choice since slotted and drilled are good for looks but you will loose surface area for braking. Drilled hole tent to crack after time, slotted help hot gas escape. I am planning to get Acurazine brake package from excelerateperformance slotted only, my question is that the slotted goes like this


/ ----------> Front of the car



OR


\ ----------> Front of the car




I do know that Stop Tech rotor feature curve cooling vane so any helps will be greatly appreciated, and Yes I do know that torque the wheel to proper spec will help with the hub run out issue (I think the spec is 78 or 80 foot pound) someone can correct me on the number.




NVM about the slot directional, I found the answer.

also, the rotors will come with stickers that Indicate L or R.
Left is always drivers side.

whats your plan of attack for the rotor screws!? impact or drill!?

 

for the rotor screw I gona use an impact screw driver, I bought it since 2005. I already know how to deal with Honda special rotor screw after owning 7 Honda lol, thanks for the help crab man .











and future reference for other member might have the same question.

 

^its sooo hard to actually check the vanes. Or i'm just lazy

the manufacture labels them L or R on the box and on the rotors themselves.

 

xlr8 will have left and right stickers on them ..and the slots point forward...dont forget to bed them in for a maxim performance.
