Default Slot direction for rotors...

I did some searchs and realize that the vanes are supposed to curve towards the back of the car. I did my rotors about 2 months ago with rotors from irotors and I didnt even think about the direction of the vanes. If my car is going in this direction -----> I have the slots like this \ \ \ (looking at the passenger side). I have seen cars with the slots going either way so does anyone that have bought rotors from irotors know if I have these on right???

brembo and ap racing both faces the other way.

actually the direction is not depended on the slots on the surface, but rather the venting "holes" in the middel of the rotors and how that goes about dissipating heat. you need to check with manufacture to see what's the right direction. looking from outside won't help.

Thanks Rom....thats what I meant about the vanes venting towards the back of the car. I read that on some link someone provided here from way back. I figured maybe someone knew so i didnt have to take the wheel off. I think irotors has brembo and them some other brand......I have the "other" brand.
