Default Correct Cquence Rotor Orientation

Hi guys - new to the forum but wanted to share something that I had a hard time finding - aftermarket cross drilled and slotted rotors - which was is correct?

I just installed the Cquence Street Series drilled and slotted rotors + the Posi Quiet pads. It was a quick and easy installation.

Here's the correct orientation for the installation of these rotors:

Thanks for everything! I'm still "braking" them in. I'll await my next trip to Newark during rush hour to really test them : ).

Lowering springs next...after the fog light install this weekend... my wife is eventually going to kill right after the supercharger next spring.

I wouldn't say it's right or wrong since I've seen them installed in both directions but I think you'll find many factory high performance brakes have the rotors installed in the opposite orientation of you. Using the Lexus GS-F, RC-F, Mercedes AMG, Nissan GTR, Dodge Hellcat, and BMW M3 and M5 as examples.

I was very confused also as I had seen them installed both ways (based on the drilled pattern). The fronts of these rotors have directional veins (curved) so you don't want them "scooping" the onward coming air but rather have them facing away to vent the heat.
