the slots on the outside of the rotor don't matter. if the cooling vanes inside the rotor are angeled you should always go by those. the opening of the vane on top of the rotor should point towards the back of the car.

The front brake rotors are mounted correctly, the grooves were mainly incorporated into brake rotors to assist with brake dust removal. I've installed a set of rotors some time ago, and it came with instructions for installation. Basically, it explains that in forward rotation grooves help channel brake dust to outer edge and keep braking surface clean. Keep up the great work, loving Spoon's OCD toward your projects. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Doesn't matter which way the slots are facing, what matters is the internal veins in the rotor. On the cheap stuff the veins usually aren't directional, but on the more expensive 2 Piece style rotors, you have directional veins that are only supposed to go one way.

Linear rate springs do not ever need preload, in fact most of the time you are losing suspension travel and killing any type of suspension droop by doing that. You should be running helper springs and setting your bump stops and your droop so you have 60% suspension travel compression and 40% droop, willing to bet all your cars have less than 20% droop

Rotor orientation is determined by the air flow veins on the inside of the rotor. Good rotors have them angled to force air into the rotor while the wheel is rotating forward. The direction of the cut doesn't mean anything.

Mirage front fenders are NOT the same as Evo 4. the wheel diameter is smaller on the Mirage, meaning you'd need to cut the corner on the fender to get it to line up with an OEM Evo 4 bumper. I believe they're also slightly wider too, maybe 10mm

Actually your supposed to put the rotors on so that when your driving air flows through them. Different manufacturers design them differently so sometimes the slots go forward and sometimes they go backwards. If you put them on wrong they will get hot and ruin the rotors and the pads
@101cubanjr
@101cubanjr Жыл бұрын
For me I feel the rotors should follow the flow of the wheel so the slots can sling off the dust outward giving you better breaking (in theory). The other way would accumulate the break dust on the base of the rotor. That’s just how my mind works. Thinking logically.
@helplmchoking
@helplmchoking Жыл бұрын
It's normally the opposite, you can kinda imagine a water wheel. The vanes inside should ideally curve "backward" to catch the air in the centre, force it outwards and exhaust the heat out the rim of the rotor, and through the caliper. That's why cars with brake cooling ducts have the hose connect in the centre of the hub. Rotors with straight vents can go either way, makes no difference and the slotting/drilling isn't what you pay attention to. Lots of cars are slotted opposite to the vents (Porsche definitely does this). But at the end of the day, unless you drive really hard or do track days, you an get away with either
