Red lines depict the vane direction.

A directionally vaned rotor mounts as shown.

Not according to Brembo....
This is directly off of their web site:
Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first. Please see figure.
But then again, what does Brembo know about braking?

They were not marked R or L. The rears were, but not the fronts.
I let ECS know they should mark them in the future (like their rears) and change the picture on their website.

I have just the opposite for Brembo's racing brakes.
It shows their directional vaned rotors mounted, just as I mounted mine. At least that is what Brembo racing recommends to the race teams.
