:speechles

Ive checked a few threads, they seem to contradict each other..

ive got stickers on mine, "left side" "right side"... but that differs if im looking at the front of the car, or the rear :happy:


just want to make sure that the lines go in the direction of travel?

I confirmed this with Martin at fittaparts after being questioned about the rossinis on my V6.

You fit them so that the grooves are going the 'Wrong' Way around, so that the the groves look like they should rotate backwards.

K K..

just like your pic (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showpost.php?p=53781&postcount=11) then?

Just looks odd :inquisiti

Yep, As I looked from the front of the car, this is how the stickers lined up too.

It does indeed look odd. Some manufacturers recommend the other way around, EBC being one, but not Rossini.

Put it this way. Ariadne and Hordak have been fitted this way with no apparent issues.

left side=passenger side right side= drivers side. :happy:
the grooves 'should' face forwards. [ although some disc manufactures say otherwise ? ]

I think the angle of the grooves makes a difference to which way they should face? Certainly, EBC and Rossini have different point of view!

Indeed. My EBCs were labelled left side and right side and as you can see byt the photos in this thread, the rotation is the opposite to the Rossini's:

This seems to make more sense to me as the brake dust is being pushed to the outside of the disc.

What was the price of those Rossini discs then Barry?

It was discussed a few days ago and was about £200, thread HERE (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24060). :thumbsup:

Oh yeah ... and I posted on that thread too ... /pan

[memory like a seive ...]

So the discs are exactly the same cost as the EBCs ...

DS2500's still got plenty life in them, so will use them to bed in discs, then buy some new pads - not sure what, some research and decide from there.
