    Which direction do your slots point on anyone running powerslot rotors. My slots face forward I think they should face the rear. Please help me confirm or deny my suspicion!

    I took to shop and my normal tech didn't do them and I'm questioning his work they should have been labeled but that doesn't say he paid attention.

    Easy fix. Although it makes me question if the rotors could be compromised from breaking them in the wrong direction?

    Agreed, wonder if you'll have warped rotors down the road from this...wonder if it's worth having the shop turn the rotors and scuff up the pads to break them in again or would that cause more potential problems. I hate it when people don't do things correctly and then the owner has to try and rectify their mistakes.

    There are so many pictures of them installed both ways online. Now I’m worried I did mine backwards too

    It’s probably not the end of the world. I mean they still must be better than a solid surface.
    Just not optimal. I would suggest leaving them if they’ve been that way. Or call the company you got them from, and ask.

    Having them on wrong, I don’t think will be detrimental to your safety. I would bet many people put them on wrong. But I would shy away from putting them in the correct position, now that they have been heat cycled in a certain direction. I’m no expert obviously, but just my thoughts. I could be totally off.

    I just read that link. The slots in the core of my rotors are straight so according to them it doesn’t matter

    It really is all about the cooling vanes.

    I had an RS4 and the external slots spun to the middle but the cooling went out.

    Its whatever floats your boat if the canes are straight

    I've switched direction on my MTB rotors with no ill effect. Might be a different animal though.
