Dunno. These came with a sticker for direction of rotation and I
followed that. I think it matters more the vent pattern inside
the rotor. Those had 80,000 miles on them when I took that photo.

Here is another pic from 4x4wire

And NAGCA

Could be Stillen changed the design. You might want to send
them one of those links (or mine) and ask if that's the right way.

What ever you do, if you put on new rotors it's critical you follow
stillen's breakin procedure. I've seen folks that didn't and the
rotors just don't last.

Doug,
thanks again. I sent Stillen the links and asked which way to mount. My
rotors did not come with any indication of which rotor goes on which side.
Thanks again.
