The DBA rotors I have fitted in the past have been packaged & marked indicating the other direction for the wiper slots. IE in the principal direction of rotation the wiper slots wipe from the inside to outside of the pad. Probably isnt critical tho & I would follow the disc makers recommendation.

Hmmmm, you'd think they would all need to be the same direction etc. Ahhh well, I'll leave them as stated for these discs.

Hmmm, this is a pic that was on the Brembo site
And this will help clear it up.
The direction of the slots or hole pattern should not be used to determine what side of the vehicle to place a rotor. Different manufacturers may have different strategies for slot and hole patterns.
The only correct way to determine what side a directional rotor goes on is the internal vane direction.

Below is a quote from this website, which also complies with the way inwhich Steve has installed his.
http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...+Slotted+Rotor
"Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are sold in axle pairs and the easiest way to verify correct usage is to install the rotors on the side of the vehicle that results in the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the rotor always contacting the brake pads first."
This site has some interesting Tech articles to read.

Greetings from Africa.
Glad it all went well so far. The rotors are around the right way as also followed the advice from the maker of the discs and those that sell the kits. They also race cars and set them the same way even though doing a picture search shows other brand discs facing the other way. Always go with what the maker of the disc says I think which is what you have done.
Leave driving impressions until you have bed them in a few days to get used to it. The benefits from low fade will take longer to see and wont happen until after some towing down steep hills or off road.
Cheers
