    There is only one left and one right on a car

    so whatever the instructions are must be pretty clear.

    It would make sense though for the slots as they rotate would try to push the pads inwards so the pins holding the pads would not get too loaded trying to hold the pads in place.

    Maybee you could save

    on leaving the grease. Less friction, and the rotors would last forever.

    This is from the DBA web site.

    Do the slots need to be left-handed and right-handed to work properly?

    Conventional wisdom once said so - and also dictated that all slots to be swept back from the centre in the same direction. However, with computer modelling we've managed to get slots on DBA Longlife Gold rotors to work in combination with the cross-drilling. This enables us to use a minimum of four grooves arranged in a mirror-image pattern. Such an arrangement saves the buyers the additional expense and inconvenience of having non-interchangeable left-handed and right-handed rotors.

    OK GUYS... this is how RDA say they should go

    Looking at the car from the side, the slot starting in the middle of the rotor should sweep towards the rear of the car.

    They will work the other way round but gasses will not be expelled as efficiently.

    Caz.. :)

    Well it would be good if the fuckwits marked the rotors correctly then.

    Mine had stickers on em. Left and right and that is how I fitted them.

    The boxes where printed left/right and the stickers matched !!!

    DICKHEADS !! :mad:
