GEN 2 Need help Brembo Brakes

Looks like your front rotors are on the wrong side. All the Brembo's I have had the holes go the other way. The rear looks correct. I have always just trimmed the dust covers as needed.

They are on the wrong side. Those rotors have direction vanes and they are indeed backwards.

I don't believe they are. The boxes are marked right and left accordingly. The instructions seem to be correct.

Misboxed at the factory? Never seen Brembo run in that direction. Even all the photos on the Brembo site show them the opposite of what you have up front.

100%. The direction part on these rotors is actually the vents between the disc. So they flow in a specific direction. They're def correct.

Hard to see it now because the wheels are on the truck... But this is how they look.

Its correct. I think the person that does the rotors drinks a good bit because mine are in the different direction but the "venting" is correct.....

Yeah the vents are pointed towards the back of the truck. I think if they were reversed there would be a noticeable whistle. Right? Is that how you have yours?

Yes, those 'vents between the disc' are called vanes - the proper rotation of those vanes is like my picture below. AS long as the vanes rotate that way (hard to see the pic) they are correct.

Thanks though, this is good information. Both the front and the rear are correct.
