Non directional venting on front rotors is an ultimate fail (and cheap out).

As for your "slots" the direction does not matter, however we need to see the profile view to see which way the cooling veins are going.

The hat can be mounted on either side of the ring thus making the rotor feasible on either side of the vehicle and making the venting slots/vanes perfectly directional if mounted properly.

The direction of the slots is directly associated with the direction of convergant cooling vanes within the rotor - With that said, direction of the slots do matter. The rotors should be identical on either side of the car. The hat will just be mounted on opposite sides of the rotor.

It might be true in this case but it is not consistently the case. Some manufacturers have the slots facing forwards even when the veins are pointing backwards, not sure the reasoning, just one of those variations between manufacturers. But yes, they should definitely be pointing the same direction on both sides.

The center-mount flanges for hat mounting to the rotor ring allows the ring to be used on either side of the vehicle simply by mounting the hat on either side of the ring
