Default Help! Drilled & sloted rotors

Do the slots go to the front of the car or towards the back? The rotors are not marked. Thanks,
Mark

Mine lean to the back, however I would look at the cooling area between the inner and outer fire path and make sure that when moving forward they are pulling in air vs pushing it out.

Here's a picture of mine.

Are those the partitions in between the disks? Should they tilt towards the front as to pull air in? The stock rotors faced to the back

My stock rotor vanes pointed to the rear also. It looks like in the pics they point to the rear. I guess it is dispelling heat as opposed to intaking cool air?

Its about the vanes in the middle. If they are straight |||| then they are not directional. If they are \\\\ then the top points to the rear of the car.
So \\\\\ -> would be on the right side of the car clockwise rotation.

I would avoid drilled rotors though...









Even with cooling ducts installed this happened in just one track day to all four rotors.
