I was just thinking that, it depends on the shape of the vanes though.
Just go out for a drive(not dangerous) if they make a strange noise then you will know

can't you have the grooves on the discs pointing both ways, 1 way for increased braking, wear on the pad and noise. The second way decreases the
wear on the pad and lowers noise
Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary... that's what
gets you.

and teh right one on the right. unless i was looking from the wrong end.
i looked from the back off the car.

V nice did mie last year, was well worth it.
As for the grooves, depends who you listen to. But FWIW in my book they are on the wrong side.
And yes you can just swap the hubs over

The grooves dont relate to which way the disks go on. they can be slotted either way depending on the manufacturer.
The way to check without doubt is to check which way the vanes go inside the disk (if it has them). If they are solid disks, they can be either way.
the way these are fitted will be more aggressive on the pad.

Leave them as they are, it won't make any difference with solid disks.
