It seems strange that the discs fitted to our cars are 50% running the correct way.

They need to rotate the correct way for cooling and the curved dust grooves on the face of the disc need to aswell.

Not sure if HSV have done this for cheapness? if you look at AP discs they are left and right hand and all rotate the correct way and the angle of the cooling fins on the centre of the disc cup the air to cool the disc.

My left hand front and rear discs are always hotter when checked with a laser temp gauge, which is rotating the wrong way.

Below are 4 photos of mine, are all the Monaros VXR's like this? also what are VXR8's like?


Front right correct rotation


Rear right correct rotation


Front left wrong rotation


Rear left wrong rotation

I was under the impression that the grooves were for letting hot gasses out under braking and to minimize the pads glazing not to cool the disc,cooling is done via the vents between the disc face's

I dont mean the pattern on the disc face i mean the holes that are between the two sides of the disc like in the pic below


I was told buy a brake disc manufacturer that it didnt matter which way round the grooves went when i ask about some that i fitted to another car
