Glad to hear others singing the praises of these amazing rotors!
I absolutely love mine, and as Doc has in this very forum can attest to the quality. I have yet to find their limitations and believe me I have tried.

Do the RacingBrake rotors have directional, vented vanes?

If the vanes are directional, then are they oriented correctly for the right and left rotors per this website?

http://zeckhausen.com/how_to_properl...all_rotors.htm

I am asking cause my fellow track/autocross friend is looking for road racing rotors and the vanes have to be correct for each side of the car.

So, the left and right rotor vanes are pointing the right way to the direction of rotation? Meaning that there is indeed a left and right side rotor in terms of the internal vanes??

You posted in the other brake thread that discussed the different brake choices and advantages of Racing Brakes rotors?

Yes they are directional; they come in a set (front or rear) and there's a left and right side. They must be mounted with the slots curving forward as in this pic:

this is the front passenger side.

It is not the slots that I'm inquiring about, it's the vent vanes (in between the rotor faces) that I'm trying to determine if they are directional left-to-right.

Yes they are which is why you get a left and right rotor for each set. The slots are the clue as to which direction they should be facing when you install the rotors.

Were Doc's and SPCBA's answers not respectful?

yes it is directional through and through. The veins are a patent of racingbrake and Mr Linn.
