Default Powerslot Rotor Question

I have a rather stupid question on Powerslot rotors. When they are mounted on the car, should the slots rotate (or lean) toward the front of the car or rotate (or lean) toward the rear of the car, or does it even matter? I have seen pictures of cars both ways.

For example, if you are looking at the rotors mounted on the car and the slots lean toward the front of the car, and they should lean toward the back of the car, then that means they are mounted on the wrong side.

Go look at a new ZO6, they point opposite from one side to the other, so I guess it is personal preference as to which way you want them.

Why don't you just ask Power Slot? Shoot them an email.

This subject has been discussed in great detail in previous threads. The common response has been to have the slots lean back / Another response has been to make sure the cooling blades are positioned to pull air into the center of the rotor. Here's how my Sport Brake Rotors are positioned
