yep, opposite of pf but same as rear ap, the grooves sort of point forward as they rotate

Ok thanks

Just looked at my car and they face forward :thumbs:

It's the orientation of the internal vanes thats important with race discs - not the angle of the grooves, hence the AP and PF grooves are different - the vanes are the same.........as these discs pull heat away from the middle of the disc and out through the outer edge.

On the other hand, he's from East Anglia so better to keep it simple!

If I've installed them correct, this is the correct direction for Ap's...

I read the instructions cause I'm sad like that.

You shouldn't even have to read the instructions - the part number on the boxes that the discs came in says LH and RH on them :hahaha:.

The internal cooling vanes are what dictate the rotation of a disc, not the grooves on the surface of the disc.
