In fact, my mates SS has them installed in the opposite direction to mine (and his were installed by the NSW HP). Most race cars with slotted rotors have the slots in the opposite direction to my road discs. I don't think that the direction of the slots really matters too much. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think the main thing that governs the direction in which they have to rotate is the direction the vanes inside the rotor are angled. Installing the rotors wrong way round could effect cooling.

The direction of the slots is not imperative.The vane direction is the most important thing....and if they are DBA kangaroo paw then this is irrelivent too as they aren't directional.If the slots face forward you will get slightly more initial bite but most couldn't tell the difference.
