Default dumb question: this rotor is for the driver's side, right? (more)

<img src="http://b6s4.com/picroster/albums/userpics/10001/normal_DSC01648.JPG">

if you had xdrilled rotors with the holes in the same "slash" or "radiating from center" pattern, they should radiate to the back (or clockwise on the driver's side and counterclockwise on the passenger's side when seen from that side), right?

if i am right, then the top rotor in the pic goes on driver's side front.

let me know, y'all.

thanks!

take care.

The direction of the slots are not the key. It's the direction of the vanes inside.

The vanes should radiate out and to the back (CW on driver's side)

Default Thse ECS rotors in the pic have straight vanes so can go either side

I think it looks better to go the way you said. It only matters which side if your rotors have internal veins that point back.
