Default Brake Rotor direction
OK, is the left side the driver side and the right side the passenger side? I'm just checking I want to put them on one time.

Ok so I installed all 4 rotors and the fronts have the Slots facing back, and the rear rotors have the slots facing forward.

Is this the way they are supposed to be ?

I installed the ones marked Left on the driver side and Right on passenger side.

Yes, my rears look like this but my fronts are going the opposite direction.

And when I installed the fronts I went by the sticker each rotor had.

MarylandSpeed,

Maybe you can come in and let us know how the fronts are supposed to go ?
I think its weird my fronts have slots going the opposite direction as the rears.

Just got mine in today and they fronts are labeled opposite of the rears. From everything I've read and learned, the slots turn into the brake pad/caliper, so that's how I'm installing mine

Yes, they are labeled different from the rears and this is why im all confused.

As I know from past experiences, the rotors should go like the picture posted above but I dont know if the cooling vanes on these rotors go a certain way. It can affect cooling of the rotors.

These rotors are plug and play, no issues.

As noted in the original sale post-

Note: With F-body rotors, the fronts are Kangaroo Paw, the rears are traditional curved vane rotors that are reverse vented.
The front is a newer casting design than the rears.
