Simple dumb question
I bought some AC delco cross drilled slotted rotors, and I'm confusing myself. If the rotor is for the right side, is that the passenger side? What's confusing me is the vanes in the rotor. Shouldn't it pull (scoop)air in as it rotates, for cooling? Or does right mean facing the vehicle? LOL. Something so simple ...

Right side is always the passenger side and left is always Driver's side.

BTW, you may also be confused as to the direction of airflow. The air may flow from the center of the rotor outwards.

Vanes do not scoop air in. The cooling air is drawn in near the center of the hub on the inner side of the rotor and centrifical force spins it outward to the edge of the rotor out the end of the vanes.
