When I went to install the Baer brake kit last night, I noticed that the vanes were similar to the EMP water pump I have and are directional. I installed them accordingly and when double checking myself (nothing like self doubt once something is already installed!), I found this handy write-up: http://zeckhausen.com/how_to_properly_install_rotors .htm

Yes, the vents do matter, the slots do not.

I only got the PS on last night. Didn't realize there was a little grinding involved. :D DS tonight. Mmmmm... with just one on... Jawdropping! I'm very impressed so far.

Might have to take a look at mines now, anybody know if R1 concepts have directional vanes or not ?
