Default Disc groves which way asap....

Just putting my AP's on and need to know which way the groves on the discs go?
There Front 330mm discs on a 4x4 duno if that makes a difference.
I would put them the same as me old uprated standard discs but thought I check first. pics would be cool

Nothing to do with disc grooves, has EVERYTHING to do with cooling vanes though... they need to flow backwards

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.

My discs look same as yours genuine AP's.
Do your groves curve the same way as the vanes?
