I need brakes on the car, ones on there have seen 88K miles of abuse. I used my vin to look up parts online at ford dealer and to my dismay it has TWO styles of brakes available for the PIU. SO I went to the dealer to see about which ones I have...they don't know and dont have either front rotor in stock to compare in person.

So question here...what has anyone run into in terms of HD brakes or non HD brakes. How can one tell the difference? After getting sticker shock from the dealer I have looked at after market name brand parts on the web and am faced with the same challenge of styles. Which ones do I buy that will fit my vehicle? The fronts have venting inside the beveled area outside of the mating surface of the hub, the rears are solid with venting between disks. Both are very large diameter, but nothing else is very blatantly obvious too explain them & assist here.

Thanks guys!
 












Thanks Peter, I'm still researching this...cant seem to get a straight answer from any dealer.
