does it matter which way slotted rotors are fitted? i mean the direction, is there only one way or do they work both ways?

Interesting, the slotted rotors I fitted to the Honda a few months back had Right and Left markings on them.

yes that is true they do go one way, I have spoken to race brakes about fitting large slotted discs on my car and they told me that they are directional so that the brake dust can escape. Also dont go for crossdrilled rotors as they look good but can shatter.

depends on the internal venting veins if they are directional or not.
