FOR THE LAST TIME... I spoke with a guy by the name of Jim from Brembo (yes he works at Brembo), the veins are supposed to be going the other way around? Why? Because that way, the rotors cup the air so that it cools the calipers. Call Brembo and find out for yourself, but please do it RIGHT. The truth is it has nothing to do with the veins at all, HOWEVER, the rotors are designed so that they'll vent the air correctly, WHEN they are installed with the veins slashing backward.

Regards,

Charles

PS These are not 993 brakes as far as I know. They are the F50 style 14" brakes, and they are the same ones that Jimmy and I are running on our cars. Once again, they should be backwards from the way they are seen in the picture above.
