Hi,

what's the right direction for vents on the ventilated brake disc? If they are non-symmetical of course. Should they pump air INTO the hub of in reverse direction? Is this universal feature for all ventilated brake rotors or some of them could be done differently?

Thanks!

All curved-vane rotors pump air outward through the outside diameter. Stick a pen into the vanes at the top of the rotor. If the pen points to the rear of the car, you have them on correctly. This is true for all four corners.

Thanks Chris! Something I expected but just wanted more prove

P.S. Previous owner did manage to install the rotors in the reversed position. Both head and tail left and right sides swapped ) Looks like some people don't give a f*** what "L" and "R" letters on the rotors mean )
