Which directions to rotors install?
Hey guys,
I got some Stoptech slotted rotors, but I have a question on the install. I know the slot directions don't matter, its about the internal vanes. Now, typically, the internal vanes point towards the back of the car for most rotors. Looking at our oem ones (off a 430), the vanes point FORWARD. The rears do not have direction, so the rears shouldn't matter. Should I install my rotors with the vanes facing forward or backward?

They need to have the vanes spiraling out and back from the direction of rotation regardless of what is on the face....
