Rotor direction
I just installed the Baer 13" front and 12" rear system on my camaro. I got them with slotted rotors. So now I'm looking at one side of the car and the front slots are facing one way and the rear slots are facing the other way.
So which way are they supposed to go? I'm not sure which one of them in on the wrong side.

From the Baer website in FAQ:
"How do I know which way to install my new rotors?"
Internally, all Baer rotors are directionally ventilated and they must rotate in the correct direction to obtain proper airflow for cooling of the rotor. An arrow is machined into the mounting surface of one-piece rotors, and laser etched into the hat section on two-piece units. Failure to install the rotor in the proper direction will cause an overheat condition and premature failure. This error is easily determined when rotors are returned to Baer for visual warranty inspection. To see which way your rotors must be installed, please use the link to our Tech Tips. This page will have all the information you need to ensure correct rotor direction. If you should have further question or concerns, please contact us at brakes@baer.com or by phone at 602 233-1411.
