The rotor sucks air in from the center of the rotor, pumps it through the vanes, and out through the outside edge of the rotor. This “centrifugal pump” design helps the rotor dissipate heat. If you install a curved vane rotor backwards, it won't be able to pump air as effectively
"As with the plain rotors discussed above, the internal vanes should lean toward the back of the car. "The direction of the slots on the outside of the rotor do not dictate whether the rotor is a left or a right." For rotors with slots machined in the same direction as the internal cooling vanes, the slots should lean toward the back of the car. For rotors with slots machined in the opposite direction as the internal cooling vanes, the slots should lean toward the front of the car. Bottom line - don't use the slots to decide which side to mount the rotor. Pay attention to the internal cooling vanes."
Thanks for your video, it’s just in time👍👍👍, front brakes pads on my f34 is finished yesterday. Try to do this work myself🤟🏻
You're welcome! I hope this helps with your brake job. Good luck!
Excellent job 👏 👍 thanks for sharing it!!
So, how'd the pads work out? Hate the dust and looking for something for non-track driving with significant stopping power... and no noise! Thanks.
Thank you so much for this 🫡 saved my self $600 from bmw 😂 to change my brakes

These crappy rotors aren't vaned bro.

you should have replaced those pad wear sensors with new
Stoptech rotors are horrible, not sure why you're so excited.
And Stoptech brake pads ? Then...What brand-model of disc do you recommend ? ..
EBC brake discs ?
