had to do some investigating , and turns out that you guys are right. On the left side the 12o'clock slot would look like this: \ and on the right like this: /. Basicly, the top of the slotfaces the front of the truck and runs down and to the back of the truck when at the 12o'clock point .

ORIGINAL: BigNelly07

when your sitting down, staring at the rotor, the slots should be going like / toward the front of the vehicle. So when the slot crosses the pad, its cleaning from the bottom towards the top, pushing the brake dust towards the top of the rotor.

This is right (Passenger) side. Note bigass arrow on tire.
This is according to Brembo.
They know a little about brakes ;-)
This is assuming the manufacturer of your rotors knows WTF they are doing...
