[6pack] Directional brake rotors

[Mitch]

I had the same problem with a set of Brembo drilled & slotted rotors. 
Here are the instructions from their site.

"The slots are angled to use the rotors' direction of rotation to 
enhance their performance, which makes the rotors side-specific with 
left and right side rotors. Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are sold 
in axle pairs and the easiest way to verify correct usage is to install 
the rotors on the side of the vehicle that results in the end of the 
slot nearest the outer edge of the rotor always contacting the brake 
pads first."

*This leads me to believe they want the the swirl to face forward. This 
would cause the pad dust & gas to the center hub , not toward the outer 
edge.  I did not feel this was correct & installed the rotors the 
opposite way so that the dust/gas would swirl from the center up to the 
outer edge of the rotor.  Looking at the side of the car the rotor slot 
spins counter clockwise from center out.

I will say that these do stop very well but are noisy and wear the pads 
a little faster.
