Default Wholesale direct Bendix rotors direction????

Hey guys,

When I installed my brakes from Wholesale Direct last week, I installed them with the top of the slots facing forward, like eradispeeds, assuming that that's the way they were supposed to be installed.

However, I noticed in some of the pictures shown in this forum that they are installed the other way around.

My question: Is there really a difference in which way the slots are pointed with bendix rotors? I did not see anything on the rotors waying "left" or "right" and it looked like the veins are straight, but I'm not totally sure.

I am sending a message to Wholesale Direct as well, I just wanted to post this to see if I could get feedback sooner through those of you who might know a thing or two about rotors.

Thanks

I had the same question with my wholesale direct rotors and almost put them on like the baers but I ended up putting them on the opposite direction as the Baers. I don't think it really matters as long as the vanes are not directional.

Dumb question, but... the Bendix rotors in this kit are not directional are they? I don't remember them being so.

I called Wholesale Direct last year when I got mine, and they said the vanes should lay towards the rear of the car.

It doesn't matter the vanes aren't directional so it doesn't affect anything.
