Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

ryan i remember you had a thread started when you first put your rotors on and then general consensus was that the slots on the rotor should go front to rear of the vehicle, so i though flip was being serious for a min....so now im guessin it just doesnt matter, or whatever brand will dictate the direction.

Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

I was being half serious...I dont think anything has been proven about the diffference...but I could be wrong...Mine too are like roberts.....It just seemed the logical flow of them to go when I installed them.....as for if it matters....I have no clue

Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

Well i'm pretty sure they didn't install them backwards, it's not they're directional tires or have that type of purpose.

I think i'd experience some F'd up shit if they were, no?

standard suspension rotor is slightly smaller. I'm not sure if it's 3 pounds smaller though

Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

Any direction is fine, as long as its both going the same direction. Brembo puts theirs the way Fick did his. But alot of people do it the other. As long as their going the same way, you should have no problems with it.

Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

The rotors can go on either way BUT, rotors have vanes and the vanes should be going a certain way. Brembo's are backwards b/c their rotors are vaned different than just about everyone elses. Ficks are on backwards but unless he is doing some autocross racing, he'll be fine.

Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

I asked the owner of the shop I got them put on at and he said they are on correctly. You guys are really making me wanna go get a second opinion on this now. Bastids...

They stop on a dime though, already had 2 close calls with ****ing retards on the road.

you have the rotors on correctly. I've been always told that that's the correct way for it to "shave" pad material.

Re: GB on R1 concepts Premium Rotors

You can find many cars with them the other way also. Im told its the fins that are the most important. And these have no direction so they are probably good either way
