Default Help Cross drilled/Slotted rotor direction

Hi I did a search and yes this came up numerous times, But I didn't get anywhere after reading for an hour. I just put on some cross drilled and slotted rotors from Lextasy.com. Don't know the brand name since it seems they kept it hidden, But for $250 for all four down from $450, It seemed like a good deal for my LS430. There was no indication of which rotor went where (left or right). I have no idea what veins or vains are on the rotors to see which direction they turn. Also I painted the whole rotor with durable gun metal colored caliper paint so the area not in contact with the pads wouldn't rust. I did look for the Left or Right marking before I painted them. I'll use the driver's side as an example. I have the rotor slot direction going in this direction \ . Is that correct or it doesn't matter?

Let me know thanks.

the slots have little to do with the direction. the vents are what determines the direction, if it's directional. you need to find out the vents direction and go from there

and get from lextasy....

That is the several holes on the outer perimeter of the rotor right ? If they are straight then it shouldn't matter?

I second the notion of not buying from Lextasy They are ripoffs. I would order from tire rack or someplace like that that is reputable. I would stay away from ebay.
