Oem brake rotor question
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/85168/rs4b.jpg"></center><p>Does anyone know if the front rotors are supposed to be directional? My left front rotor is shown. My right front rotor is identical, that is the cross-drilled pattern (and any directional vanes inside, if there are any) are reversed - they look like they are turning backwards. On the rear, the rotors are different on each side, the cross drilled pattern is specific right and left.
Do I have a left rotor on the right front? Or are the rotors supposed to be the same right and left? My dealer was not sure.

Just get the STaSIS /Alcon BBK and be done with that! (edited)...
I don't think anyone just makes "replacement" rotors for this car. You would need to upgrade to a BBK for it. However with the price of the OEM rotors on the RS4, maybe it is worth it to you to invest in a BBK.
I can't believe your dealer "wasn't sure" about the non directional status of the front rotors. In any case that's what I hate about Audi, they always go cheap in the wrong places. Why the heck they didn't bother making the stock rotors on an expensive, top of the line car like the RS4 directional with proper guided vented vanes is beyond me!
