is it just me or do those rotors look directional, and seem like this one should be on the other side if the right side of the picture is the front of the car?

Not sure, I'll check the other rotor. Maybe I have two like that! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

he meant that is the front of the car because you can see the 4 pot caliper, he hasnt seen a 4pot on the rear yet so it cant be the rear in the pic.



get it? got it? good.

After....

look at the lines.... shouldn't it go from bottom-top?

yeah i think mazdaenthused is right, i just could not recall what side the claiper is on for the life of me, closer to the rear or the front.. but yeah it's closer to the rear so the car is facing towards the right of the pic.



if the other sides rotor had the slots facing the same direction I would think they should be swapped? the slots are supposed to expel gas/dust, the current orientation looks like it would promote the opposite?

I believe you are correct, it was late last night when I finally got it all back together. I didn't even notice.
