Default Q's on slotted and cross drilled rotors

I purchase a set (4) if the IRotors slotted and crossed drilled rotors. I was wondering if there is a certain way these type of rotors are supposed to go on the car (as in direction of the pattern of the slots and cross drilled). The rotors do no thave any indications to this.
I just e-mailed them the same question, but thought I would post here to see if someone has already asked and gotten an answer.

Well here is the answer I got back:

Hello,

Outside of each individual rotor box is an iRotors label with part numbers. The part numbers should read IFXXXXXL and IFXXXXXR (xxxxx denotes the actual part numbers). IF stands for iRotors Front. The last letter designates the Left or Right side. As for rear rotors the part numbers would read IRXXXXXL/R.

Please let us know if you need anything else.

Thank you.
Bad thing is I already threw away the boxes a month ago.

I put mine on with the slot line leaning towards the back of the car.

They look sweet, but prepare for much more brake dust.

iRotors go on the the top hole points to the back of the car, so it looks like the rotors are moving. Not all companies do it like this. I believe Baer does it reverse. It's all about the direction of the webbing on the inside of the rotor. If this webbing is non-directional, the rotors can go either direction.

If the cooling vanes in the core are straight, then the choice is up to you. Whatever looks better. I mean the holes and stuff are for looks anyway.
