as in the shop. there is another old is350 beside me, so i take a look,. the rotor is also in the wrong direction according to the L OR R sign,
so i suspect all lexus rotor are stamped the L OR R on the wrong side if we believe in the air flow thing

the owner of the shop i go , is a technician at toyota/lexus for over 30 years, he cant explain why, he told me ,as to his knowledge , it is wrong, but that is the lexus way to install it as it clearly states which is L AND which is Right, but he cant provide the reason.

Datapoint: After installing my 2011 Sport Brembo rotors about 2 years ago CORRECTLY (but backwards from how they are labeled by Lexus), no warping so far.
