Well... Looking outside at a winter/spring day, I noticed my rotors are put on opposite! :eek3: Ive noticed that braking has sucked sometimes and is a little shakey, is this the reason? :picard:

To answer your question not exactly.

It is my understanding that having the slots reversed will eat pad quicker but should provide better performance. AKA race car brakes that need to be replaced often.

You might want to read up on it though as I could be very wrong.

As Far As I Know - AFAIK

I wouldn't if it wasn't $150 for all 4 rotors, and the ceramic pads :dunno:....they haven't let me down yet... and the issues with GP's and braking in the rain the slots have helped

yeah, I got mine off ebay for $200 with pads and free shipping. The front ones are pointed the correct way right? I need to flip the backs around?

my power slots were marked the other way. each manufacturer seems to have different directions. For power slots \ was passenger and / was driver side.

Alson at the end of thier life the brakes were pulsing, turns out the slots were filled up with debris.

Basically, follow the manufacturer directions. Those look like ebay rotors so they are straight vane.
