iRotors recommends them to be installed swooping backwards. However, me not knowing this at the time, installed them swooping forward b/c I think it looks better. They said to leave them like that since it had already been a few thousand miles and that it shouldn't hurt anything. They just said that through testing, they found that having them swoop backwards gives the longest life, etc..

Yeah, well for now I am one a tight bugdet (SP?, lol) for the car, and the iRotors seemed like the best alternative to the TT brakes. They should last me a while, but when they fail, i'll have more $ to go all-out on them with Sucks being a college student sometimes.
