Just put on some fresh shoes. Rotor is directional per the instructions.
Funny. The "gas" comment is from MANY...years back when the pads did outgas during heating.
Not so much with todays pads. The holes and slots are mostly for looks and a little weight reduction.
The car guys tried to delete the holes and slots when their pads got better and outgassing became a thing of the past, about 10 or 12 years ago. People complained and wanted slots and or holes. At first they were willing to pay extra for them, the manufacturers went back to holes and or slots..!
They may still help with water reduction at the surface.

OLD...information..! Modern pads have little IF ANY out gassing problems.
Though the "drilled / weakening" comment is true, with heavy applications and heavy use. Cracks form around the holes, especially if the holes aren't properly chamfered on both sides.

"You don't need brakes, they will only slow you down"
