Default Quick Question?

Im installing my new sloted and drilled rotors. IS the left side of the car the drivers side or the passenger. I feel stupid asking this question. But it depends if your inside the car or in front of it. Thanks

Left is drivers side or port side just like a ship. Port is left, always looking forward.

It assumes you are in the driver's seat.

Thanks thats what I thought but I see other pictures of the slots angled up and to the left like a saw blade and mine are facing the other way. Is this correct?

driver is always your left. if they are just regular slotted rotors i would think it wouldnt matter too much which direction the slots go unless that was a depth angle that pulled the air inward. as far as i know they are just flush slots and either direction will work fine
