Looking to do a slight overhaul of my brake system debating between the following calipers:
Non PP-
Powerstop S5214
PP(assuming HD in this case is referring to PP)
S5468
Here's the rockauto catalog with referenced calipers
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2014,explorer,2.0l+l4+turbocharged,3298527,brake+&+wheel+hub,caliper,1704

Not a huge price difference but wondering if the "HD" option offers any advantages?

anyone know what the difference is?

TIA

I'm pretty sure the PP calipers have a vented piston. There was a picture here somewhere that show the differences awhile back.

The vented piston IIRC was implemented in 2013, along with different seals.  mrhighcaliber had posted pics during his brake upgrade project.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

so no knowledge of different calipers used on 10-12 applications for PP vs non pp?

From what I recall, the only thing that changed were the pads only for those model years.

There was no differentiation regarding the calipers exclusively.
