Homer Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Are these discs on the right way round (this is the drivers side rear)? The interal vents are vertical and not angled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) I'd have thought the other way round Edited September 29, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'd say wrong way round also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 the way in your picture homer is the correct way for optimum braking but does generate more noise and vibration,the other way its slighly less afficent but has less noise and vibration. each to there own i have uk brakes so have the quiet way but if i had jspec i would go for best braking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzytt Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 its what they call the aggresive way , however look for markings on the discs sometime the direction is stamped. just because the vent looks vertical doesnt mean anything the internal passage is whats important . get that wrong and brake temps will sky rocket. best to find out what brand they are and ask !

Homer Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks guys. I believe the discs are EBC and there are no rotation marking on them (Will check with Steve, who I bought them off to confirm). According the website they are on the wrong way round, bugger! http://www.ebcbrakes.com/automotive/ebc_3gd_sport_rotors/ebc_3gd_sport_rotors.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Yep that's the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Welsh-Stealth- Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Got the same from demon-tweeks. boxes had front/rear, o/s-n/s & are facing the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'd have thought the other way round I suppose it depends on the manufacturer. My rears are stock grooved and were on the way in the pic Dunk posted, but my front D2s came with a rotation direction diagram which indicated they should go the other way. Just bought some big K-sport rears and I'll be fitting them the same as the fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Bump on this.. Is it advisable to swap the brake discs from left to right after they have been on for a while? About 5000kms? According to the manufacturer, mine is on wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the manufacturer, mine is on wrong. Shouldn't be a problem I'd flat the pad faces down using some medium grit wet & dry paper held onto a flat surface then re bed the pads in Edited November 22, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
