question about slotted rotors?

well i posted this in what i thought was the right thread, but nobody answered me, so here is a new thread...

i am curious for those of you that have the slotted rotors or know more than i do about them... which is better? oriented to have the slots come out from under the pad during forward motion from in to out or from out to in? why? just wanted to ask because i am planning new brakes for my car this summer, and was wondering which way i should index them...

Really depends on your preferance , but most have the slot high point faceing the
Front of the car . Talk to Cali Yaris (Garm ) , he has pics up here somewhere.

I've seen it done both ways. My opinion is that it is a very minor difference, if any.
