jonst205 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi all, I've picked up some Kinetix grooved & dimpled discs. However I've never been quite sure - which direction should the grooves run - towards the rear of the car I assume? Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 depends on the disc, some can be fitted both ways, one is more aggressive than the other. i.e groves rotating to the front better braking, but quicker pad wear. turned the other way round, not as agressive braking, better pad wear. but as for kinetix not sure. never heard or used them.

marzman Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Usually, they should run in the less-aggressive direction, otherwise your pads will be worn out more quickly. As rich says though, for your specific discs it could be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonst205 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Doh! That is superb thanks - the are the ones pictured. Interestingly they are fitted to different cars in alternative directions in their gallery! I think I will go with them sweeping toward the rear. They look superb but they are so heavy it's unreal. I'm sure they are heavier than ST205 jobbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 What is more important is the direction of the heat dispersal fins if they are angled. They should be facing upwards and to the rear Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
