#19325, "Cross-drilled, slotted rotors are directional?"
I could really use some help here. I have a '99 GS, and I just bought some wicked rotors from raceconcepts.net. They are xdrilled and slotted. After I put them on the car, I realized that they were directional. doh. It was late, so I didn't want to mess with them, but the front ones are swapped sides, which means the slots hit the pads outside to inside. Does this really make a difference? Will I lose some performance, or even worse, will this mess up my rotors? I don't know a great deal about brakes, but just looking at them, it would stand to reason that since I have them on backwards, it may push the hot gasses TOWARD the center of the rotor rather than AWAY like slots are supposed to, but other than that, I can't see what the harm would be in leaving them like this for a week or so. Can someone who knows tell me for sure, the consequences of having these fronts on backwards? Thanks for your help and time.
