Nice rotors. I wish I went black now seeing yours.
Question, I thought for drilled/slotted rotors, you needed to put the slots opposite of how you have them, to help in outgassing? This is what I was told when I installed mine.
Pictured is my Driver Rear. As you can see, we are opposite. If anyone knows, that would be great. Not saying you are wrong... I have been wrong alot and am just checking if I am or not.
Nice job again!

Should depend on the internal vanes inside the rotor. If the slotted rotors have straight/radial internal vanes, then slot direction is personal preference.

So, in the instance of mine, is that personal or do I have them set up right? Mine arent straight, they are arc'd with the curve of the rotor, per say. know what i mean? thanks for the info so far.

Thanks!
To OP: Sorry if I robbed the thread. Checking out your project made me wonder about mine was all. Figured keepin all the info in 1 brake thread rather then several would be beneficial to all. (Still so jealous of your black rotors)

My rotors were actually marked, from the manufacturer, which side they were to be installed on. (One of the pictures show their markings) They have been awesome too! I would say that I have about 50% more stopping power and hardly any of that wonderful Ford (stock) brake dust from those cheap pads! Also, no noise from them.
As much rain as we get around here, they really have out-performed my expectations, so far. I am glad that I finally bought them and ditched the stock rotors / pads. I am more than happy with them.
