[6pack] Directional brake rotors

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

Just resurrecting this thread as at the time this came up I was accumulating
parts for a front end refurb and I was curious to know how things worked.

In the end my rotors (EBC from TRF, purchased a few years ago) were stamped L
and R so based on that I put the one stamped L on the driver side and the
slots do sweep backwards

Joe---I just went to look at mine, and they are opposite to your description.
I think the idea here is to face the slots and drilling/dimples so that the
gasses, dust and debris gets thrown to the outside of the rotor.

All:

I've just received my new drilled and slotted TRW brake rotors.  They
look cool enough, and will be even better once installed with the other brake
toys I just bought. But - they're directional.

Which way do the slots (//)
point?  My guess is that for the passenger side it's:

 // > front of
vehicle.

Correct?
