discs are on the wrong way round, cooling veins are directional on EBC discs.

yes, they can do but the cooling veins are rotational so will cause the disc to get hot quickly as the air will be pushed towards the centre of the disc rather than out of the disc. and will wear pads quicker as you say.

get them swopped round, its only 2 bolts each side.

yes i would, but i would want £2000 as i could get that from parts alone, so unless i get offered that then it will be stripped.
