brake rotors
I was wondering I just had my brakes and rotors replaced at a Indy shop and when I got the car back everything was fine but I noticed the direction on the right front rotor was backwards are the rotors directional or not? just wondering.

It's strange because it faces forwards on one side and reverse on the other side. I paid attention to this when I was replacing my rotors and my OEMs were installed in this fashion too.

Guys..
I never noticed that either.. I do know that Rotors are not Directional So they are not drilled for left and right.. I'm guessing now that if you had a set in the rear also, you'd need to pay attention that both sides matched or else it might look a little strange if it was noticed at all.
