Got my brakes in, something looks funny
So i got my brakes and they look great. but i think i may have a problem.
I have Brembo fronts slotted & drilled, and slotted & drilled rears as well. When i went to put them on the car however i noticed that the front rotors are both slotted & drilled in the same direction, so that when i put them on the car, the Driver Front side looks normal, with the pattern pointing towards the front of the car, but the Passenger Front side looks backwards. I then noticed the same thing with my rear rotors, they are also slotted & drilled in the same pattern, only the Passenger Rear is the one that looks normal, while the Driver Rear looks backwards.
It's difficult to explain, so I put some pictures up here:

I was under the impression that the slots and drill marks on all 4 corners should be pointing towards the front of the car, rather than having 2 of them face in the opposite direction. On most big brake kits i've seen online you can clearly see a Right and Left marking on serperate rotors, and see that they are slotted & drilled in opposite patterns to keep all the markings facing the front of the car.
My question is, what should i do? I don't think i should install them like this, not only does it look weird, but i don't know if it would be as effective.

passenger front and driver rear are the wrong way. you need to exchange those. it looks like you have two drivers front's and two passenger rear rotors. they need to be changed.
it takes some time to look at it but you will see the pattern. btw, where did you get them from? how much?? are they zinc coated??
