I have had a running debate with a friend on slotted rotors on what direction the slot should go. I have seen it on many different cars going forward to what looks like to claw at the pad. I have also seen it swipe at the pad. I have also read it should be put in both ways too. I was wondering what way are they supposed to be.
) this way or like this ( on the rotor I am not the good at art but you get the hint slanting forward or slanting back. Do tell

I think it all matters on the manufacturer of the rotor and the application it is put on.... according to brembo... the rototrs that I have on my GSX are "swiping" at the pads as you put it... but my friend with a civic said that they looked backwards... cause his rotors are "clawing" at his pads... according to the marking on the rotors they are marked "R" and "L".... I would go by that.

Mine were marked left and right. Mine are also swiping the brake pad. I only have rears on and I can tell a difference in my braking also.
