Default Slotted Rotors install question

Somehow while swapping out my rotors tonight I mixed the new slotted (no drills) up a bit so I can't tell which ones are for the RF, LF, RR, LR. I'll blame this on the fumes from PB Blaster, I hate those bracket bolts! Is there a way to tell which rotor is which by looking at them?

Thanks,
Mowpow

What really matters is the curved vanes that are in the center section of your rotors. They are designed to draw air into the center of the rotor and force the air to exit from the outer edge. For example drivers front vanes looking @ 12 o'clock position the curve should be in this direction (/) Externally on the rotor the "reverse slot" on the front drivers side would be @ the opposite angle as shown above @ 12 o'clock. Hope this helps.

I thought the rotors should have the location "cast" into the inboard side of the rotors. Take a close look at your rotors.

You can't tell the front rotors from the rear?

I think he is just talking about which ones are L and which ones are R. It doesn't matter what direction the slots are carved into the rotor, what matters is the way the vanes are running in the rotor...
