Rotora Slotted rotors install question
The instructions that come with the Rotora brakes indicate that the "vanes" or "slots" should be facing forward, but every slotted rotor photo I've seen have the slots going backwards. Is there a reason for this?

its one of those philosophical questions
is the glass half empty or is the glass half full

you will find that some say they should go forward, others say it should go backwards

If you want to actually use the slots as they were intended, they should face forward.

The slots should face forward, towards the front of the car. Follow the directions from ROTORA.

If the instructions say face forward, there there is a reason for it.

Would you put directional tires on the wrong way just because it looks better?

These are brakes man, don't screw around with opinions.
