Anyone noticed that the lexus rotors appear to be backwards? The one labeled L would imply putting it on the left side but the vanes are then leaning forward trying to pump air towards the hub. This contrary to any directional vented rotor I have seen. Anyone know something about this oddity?

^You're not the only one that noticed that. I actually did some research and got ahold of a technical guy at PowerSlot and we talked about the rotors and their design. Basically it boils down to the way Lexus design the braking systems in these cars and the rotors' vein patented design. It is backwards to the conventional, but it works...and works well. I posted all of my findings on someone's else thread, so I cannot really find it now. 
EDIT...found the thread under the phrase "vein design"!

Am i the only one that is having problems with lexus rotors? They were squeaking so dealer replaced the for free then they got warped because we were hitting the brakes at 120 mph so hey resurfaced them but now they are shakng again. Anyone have idea, maybe stoptech slotted rotors next?

Not sure the question here, but yes there is a different between the left and right rotors and at least my boxes of PowerSlot rotors came with stickers ON the rotors labeling then L or R. Not to mention the PowerSlot part #s themselves show whether it is L or R.
