[clio_rs]

hi all,

i getting some drilledand grooved brakes all round at the end of the month for my ph1 172 i may be thick here but which way do the grooves go?? there in a kinda spirral and just wonder if they face towards the front or back of the car?????

 

[clio_rs]

anyone????

The grooves wil be the same whatever set you go for and the spirals should be going anti-clockwise IIRC

passenger side

i see so the grooves go against the pads so to pick up the air to keep cool. thanks for the pic its a great help
do you notice better braking with them fitted???

I have drilled and grooved discs on my 172. And i cant wait to put standard or grooved discs back on.

Some people fit them different way round depending on application, heat, usage. Depending which way they go, it'll either help the brakes get up to temp or keep them from over heating.

It's the vanes inside the 'vented' part you need to take note of

Disks like the ones pictured above it doesn't matter which way they go on, as long as the vanes inside the disc are facing the right way

all a load of nonsense stick to plain discs

Mine are probably worse than standard.

Also: 3 year bump etc. etc.
