i just put on new DBA front and rear rotors. They are the 4000 slotted series. i matched them with some Endless ss-m brakepads. heres some crappy pics since i have bad camera skills. oh well ill try to take some better pics later on.

 

ur rear rotors are fine but ur front rotors are facing the wrong direction, the slots should cust from the top of the pad to the bottom when rotating, not from the botom to the top even though it looks better like that

 

im not quite sure that your right, because these were labeled for which side they were on. and i checked with other sources and i they told me that they were correct. in the end, the slots are all facing the same direction, just that the calipers are on different sides i.e. fronts calipers are in a "front"location and the rears are in a "rear" location, but the slots all face the same direction. can anyone else chime in on this? i could be wrong.

 

it's not only the front or rear, it's also left and right side

 

Sweet

 

How much and where you get those? I'm looking to get me a set of rotors here in the near future.

THey look good.

 

i cant release the price, but i got it from 500whp.com at a great deal!

 

The slots have nothing to do with what direction the rotor should be facing, it's the internal vanes that are directional, if they are indeed curved vanes in this rotor.

 

this is the vane design. also the rotors were labeled left/right and i put them on accordingly so im pretty sure that they are on correctly

DBA kangaroo paw vane

The Kangaroo Paw features 144 precisely positioned diamond and tear-drop pillars. More than just making the disc stronger, the pillars provide a greater surface area than traditional straight vane designs. Greater surface area means more effective heat dissipation and cooler running disc rotors. The Kangaroo Paw disc rotors will quickly remove the heat, cool the discs, and return to optimal operating temperatures ready for the next braking application.

Cool air flows in from the centre of the disc, while hot air is forced to the outside of the disc - regardless of rotational direction. The pillars provide greater strength across the disc rotor and reduce the tendency for disc distortion.

More efficient cooling improves brake pad and disc rotor life, and helps reduce brake fade.

 

Then there ya go.

 

sigh, no one can read, i'm not talking about the cooing abilities of the disc, i'm talking about the sweep of the slots across the pads, they should sweep from top to bottom, not from bottom to top

 

Thats the design of the rotor. Im sure some engineering went into them and they were created like that for a reason. Mine(racingbrake.com) sweep from top to bottom, brembo and project mu sweep from bottom to top. Are you saying they are wrong? NO, its just the design of that rotor.

 

Itsmeeugene is correct in his install. Rotor slots are base on the inside vane design (not viewable). I have stoptechs and they are mounted and installed the same way. See the stoptech.com FAQ section here:

Nice on the DBAs! They really are top-notch rotors.
