Hi everyone,

I thought this would be a great place to post a question I have after my friend and I installed new Front EBC Red Brake pad and Sport (drilled and slotted) Rotors.

The only thing I'm not sure of is the direction of how the Rotors are going. I want to get a confirmation from everyone.

the rotors should have little letter saying either "R" or "L"

what's with the camo paint job

I've attached a 350Z front brake Rotor job for comparison.

Where on the Rotor would it say "R" or "L" without removing the brake caliper and taking the whole thing out?

The camo paint job comes standard with all braking jobs.

I think you've installed it the wrong direction. hope its not too much of a pain to correct it. and geez thats a lot of brake dust.

btw does the direction really matter? sorry if its a dumb question lol

If I remember correctly, it's somewhere on the inner circulate thing on the rotor around the hub ring

my stop tech has the same direction as your instalation

I've just called Pepboys, and they've said the direction of the rotor doesn't matter. I wonder how true of a statement that is. This is bothering me so much. Surprised, no one had the EBC sport Rotor installed in either the IS250 or IS350. I was thinking of taking it out for bedding but wanted to confirm the installation first. I might call EBC and ask them just to make sure.

Here are mine...Should be same direction even though it's different brand.

The direction matters! I have never seen EBC rotors that aren't marked "L" And "R". They should have come in one big box, but had each rotor in it's own box inside. That's where you would have seen the left and right designation......... I am certain that the curve of the slot would be forward, as Sffd103's are in the pic above.

Calling EBC would be your best bet, but just searched for the answer and found this:

Maybe this helps...

Here is a link from EBC and I have it backwards compare to the picture.
