    Hi all,

    This is. Question to the S6 owners out there.
    Do you know if your front brake discs are directional? I.e, are the internal vanes angled a specific way?
    I’ve bought two brand new 400mm Zimmerman discs for my new setup, the o/s front has the vanes angled down so they will scoop the air into the discs when rotated forwards, whereas the n/s had the vanes scooped upwards, this will mean it won’t be able to ‘grab’ the air as much when the wheels rotating forwards, if that makes sense!

    ******* only has the one part no. but I can’t help but think there should be different discs for the front o/s and n/s.

    Any help or images of your discs would be appreciated.

    Kind regards,


    Steve

    Not an S6 owner but did sell a full set a while ago... they are not handed. ie the vanes are correct on one side and wrong on the other. Just the way they made them. Now carbon ceramics are specific LH & RH which is a different story altogether.
