Bear eradispeeds on backwards?
I just got my set of Baer Eradispeed rotors in. The left rotor looks like it would be the right rotor and vice versa due to the direction of the slots? I even looked at the GP section for the rotors and they are facing the wrong direction as well. Why do the slotted vains go in this direction? I have never seen drilled slotted rotors on a performance car going the wrond way. PLEASE HELP! :crazy:

Has to do with the directional cooling vanes and their curvature. I've got some slotted only Plus 1's going on the rear in the near future. Same thing.

That is on correctly.
when you received your eradispeeds.. they were marked < left and right,,,
these rotors are made in australia....... eveerything is reversed..

that is how mine are supposed to go in the pic with the red vette. Why would they want them on backwards, and will it hurt if i changed them around?

Re: Bear eradispeeds on backwards? (Evil-Twin)
it isnt the external slot direction....... it is the internal vane direction..
If the internal vane is curved, the line on top should direct to the rear. In this way, air is sucked into the center of the rotor and due to rotation forced to leave at the outer border.

The slot is to help relieve gas build up from the pads. The slot direction as shown in the photo wipes the pad to the outside.

It's on right, but looks backwards.
If he was going in reverse. The front is to the left, wheel rotates counter-clockwise, the way the slots are, they'll collect towards the inside. Baer calls it 'reversed slotting'. I don't like it.
Check out page two of the catalog. It's on right.
