They go a special way if they are drilled and cross cut disks. If they're put in the wrong way the heat wont disipate properly from the disk, there should be some sort of marking/sticker on then to label them as left and right im sure? smileys/smiley5.gif

the grooves have a curve but no holes, i have put the discs so the curve goes to the front and down over the pads. so they curve to the front of the car. and pass the heat and shits out when they move to the back of the car. does that sound right??? smileys/smiley5.gif

As your looking at the left wheel it should be like this with most (if not all) disks, im sure - someone plz confirm this for me

well, if they were mine they would curve toward the caliper, as the grooves in the pic above are angled toward the caliper, i guess ive done it right???? smileys/smiley5.gif
