Usually, the slot is oriented so the top of each slot points to the rear of the car (e.g., "/").

Well from the pics of the BBK's so far then my rotors are going in the right direction.

Yup it's on the box but i'm not sure if the shop noticed that.

Honestly, if the rotors were labeled left vs. right, install them in that manner, but on these blanks that are slotted/drilled after the fact, it doesn't really matter... They don't increase stopping power over factor at all, so you would just be installing for aesthetic purposes. On my past car (99 Civic Si) I had slotted/dimple drilled rotors all around and installed them in the following manner (looking from the right side of the car) "\". I think they look better that way as they seem to turning with the wheel rather than against it. Incase you're not already aware, and as I've already mentioned, they will not increase braking performance at all (unless your current rotors are shot), they will wear pads out quicker, create more brake dust, and not last as long (slotted/xdrilled blanks tend to crack over time). I still think they look cool though

and for those of you who think that is alright to put them in either direction you are sadly mistaken - the reason to put even blanks in a certain direction is to position the cooling veins to facilitate air flow through the rotor for cooling.
