Orientation of Performance Friction discs

breeze · 29-11-2009, 02:04 PM

I'm in the process of fitting new Performance Friction discs to my car to replace the AP items that came with the AP kit.

Does anybody know which way the slots in the disc should be facing?

Nothing in the box to say which way although the APs that came off 'faced into the pad' rather than 'alongside' it if that makes sense...

Discs are the two piece slotted items here:

Any help much appreciated!

you can have the grooves facing which ever way you like as long as the vanes inside the discs are facing the right way....
