Can anyone tell me the direction of the pattern for cross drilled rotors. I"ve searched and seen them both ways. Flow towards front of tib, or rear?

both will work.

but according to brembo, the correct way is the slots facing forward, as in counter clockwise. i had mine installed backwords, and they still

i know this is a little off topic..... but if anyone wants front rotors like the picture above, i have a pair. i just put them on like 2 months ago, and i just did the rears two days ago. the fronts are silver and the rears are gold and i like the gold with my car better. so if anyone wants them make me an offer and for the right price their yours i will even include the pads because they are also two months old and worn to the rotor

Ok thanks for the info. Just thought i would try to clear the fog in my head about this. I know some products have stamps on the rotors so they are installed correct. So there is no right or wrong, correct?

The direction of the vanes of your particular rotors will determine which way the slots should face. If fitted the wrong way, they'll still "work" but if you do a lot of hard braking (i.e.: at the track), I'm guessing the cooling of the rotors would be affected.
