I got some new SRT slotted rotors from BO. When I started putting them on this morning seems the slots are not point foward on one side. I noticed this when i tried putting on the rear rotor. I believe the slots are supposed to go something like this with the car foward / not \. Is this right? If so, I'll need to get with Bo on this one. Thanks!

They are all the same, point one way on one side and the other way on the other side. DCX saved money this way, lol.

It's ghetto, there's only one part number.

My Centric rotors are different for right and left :mrgreen:
Left and right are cut opposite. The both face this way /. The rotation pulls the heat and dust to the outer edge

Hey, thanks guys for the info. I drove to a local dealership to see one of the SRT's on the lot. You're right FlyBU, they are all the same. Dammit Mopar. Oh well, I'm done with the install and i still think they look great. Thanks again guys!

Don't worry about it. Fans are made the same way, right SuperT? Forward incline and backward incline... no matter what the bad stuff is heading to the outside.
Its functional, not for asthetics

Yeah, you can get FI or BI fans. I think the difference w/ rotors is you're actually moving material (pad dust and really small amounts of rotor surface, plus dirt, rust, etc.) with the flutes in the rotors. If they angle so that the material goes toward the hub as the wheel rotates, it seems like that'd be far less efficient at actually removing the material than if they were angled so as to push it to the outside edge and make it go bye-bye. Maybe it isn't really a big deal after all??
