Question

Should the cross drills run in an arc forward or backward (front discs ) I fitted some last week and have noticed that some cars that have grooved or drilled discs face forwards.Some though face back.Mine face back is this right and if so does it make any difference ?

Most AP Racing Brake Discs feature Curved Vanes. The brake discs are handed and should be installed with the cooling vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation as indicated in the sketch.



The AP kit should look like this on the Impreza, this is the NSF corner.
