i always wondering...for those slotted rotors, which is the correct way to put them on? i have a set put on just like ryangt put his, but i've seen other that they put it on the opposite way, which means the slots go in the opposite direction compared to how ryangt has his...

well ive exprimented with the slotted type before. Rotationally that is. The direction dosent seem to matter but most aftermarket companies will tell you to run the slots as i have.
i ran them the opposite way before ( not the big brakes just some powerslots)
and i felt odd vibrations when compared to the direction that they are on now.
Most of it was psychological but im pretty sure your safe either way. Aem says thats the way to install them so ill trust the people who did the R&D.

i have the brakes the opposite direction as you. this is the correct way from powerslot which took over aem and now use exact same setup but with powerslot name. It doesnt really matter cause from what i remember aem didnt mention which side to put them on and basically I had it on both sides for 40k miles without a problem
