Drilled, slotted rotors must be directional, right?

Because I have drilled and slotted rotors, and they seem to be directional, I have to ask you guys: Which way do they go on? Should this one be on the drivers or passengers side? Tell me that, and I can figure the rest out easily enough.

Think of the gasses being expelled in a centrifugal fashion, and it should be easy to figure out.

Thank you. Which means I get to go out to the car and swap them, LOL. I put 'em on the wrong sides.

Oh well. At least I didn't drive with them on that way.

You would experience massive brake fade running them on the wrong sides.
