Default drilled/slotted rotors

well i just got some drilled and slotted rotors for my GST cuz my rotors were bad and i was wondering which way do the rotors go on.....with the slots and holes hitting the bottom of the brake pads first and then the top or vise-versa. or does it not really matter?

im not sure, but i would think that the slots when at the top of the rotor would face toward the front of the car so when they spin it actually forces the air into them to cool them off. just a guess tho

It actually doesn't matter which way. Some people argue which way works better but I run them the way you are running them.

as far as the direction people can argue about that one all day long....but for future refrence just buy slotted rotors drilled is just for the looks it actually ruins the cooling capabilitys of the rotors.
