and now wondering if they shouldn't be fitted opposite

Front ones are opposite that is clear, but my MB has the back ones as above, anyone an idea if the MB has them wrong or what is the theory behind it?

Well AP quote the following:

"Most AP Racing Brake Discs feature Curved Vanes. The brake discs are handed and should be installed with the cooling vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation as indicated in the sketch. "

On solid disks it is pretty much upto you. Differnt companies say different things- this is an argument that comes up on performance car forums as much as tires come up on this one and everyone has their own opinion on it.

The way you have them fitted is better for clearing all the brake dust/ dirt out the slotted grooves. where the other way will encourage the brake dust/ dirt to go to the centre of the hub and build up. The other way round will help it bite though- it will increase braking force with less effort (but stress the disks more).

A bit swings and roundabouts really- both have pros and cons, just depends on what you want them to do.

*EDIT*

Just seen this:


EBC recommend fitting the way you have.

Went to Munich yesterday afternoon and returned today after a business meeting there this morning, altogether 1300 km. She turned from black to white due to the incredible amount of salt they threw onto the Autobahn. It is always a pleasure to take her on a long journey

To get rid off the salt went to the car wash, the brushes managed to tear off both front bumper endcaps

Bolted on / wired up winch bumper and winch. Both courtesy of my cats. Had put the stuff in basket and went to "check out" to see what the total would be ... with shipping I figured it to be a bit too much ... then had to take a toilet break. Cats walked over keyboard whilst I was gone and "ordered" the stuff

Never heard that excuse before  Cheers, Vincent

Thanks Simon, you'd better PM me with a proforma for enough Dynamat and Dynaliner to do the same to my four doors as we seem to be in competition over the quietest 130

Will do

Chad on here lives nearby with a new 2.2 130 and we are going to see what difference the Dynamat has made once I have finished mine.

Still got floor, seat box, front doors, bulkhead, and any uncovered areas underneath vehicle to do.
