Anyone familiar with Interceptor brakes??

So recently I saw a local salvage yard got a 2014 Police Interceptor in stock, and I had to go check it out.  It definitely was an unmarked car (maybe for a detective?), but surprisingly it was definitely EcoBoost powered!  Aside from the caved in rear, the rest of the car was in pretty good shape.  Like most 2010-2012 owners I'm not super happy with the OEM brakes so I grabbed the brake booster, master cylinder, and all 4 calipers and caliper brackets.  Though with rotors and pads being a consumable item, I really wasn't too keen on buying those.

Which brings me to my question...

What size rotors and pads do I need to actually buy now to get this project off the ground?  I know there's varying sizes based on model year in addition to Performance Package vs Non-PP.  I heard somewhere that the Interceptor brakes are essentially the PP brakes with a couple minor differences.  Does anyone know if that's true or happen to know the sizing I need to keep my eyes out for?

Any help would be very much appreciated!  I'm eager to get rid of my mush stoppers lol

Thanks so much for the quick reply SHOdded!

Wow I guess I was just overthinking it.  So pretty much any rotor/pad offering for a 2013~2019 will suffice?  Also I know you mentioned looking at the Heavy Duty offerings from Rock Auto.  I'm curious, what are these exactly?  Just uprated offerings from the factory used on law enforcement vehicles or am I missing something?

Thanks again Shodded, you're a lifesaver

yes any gen 5 rotors will do.  and yes heavy duty is PP / law-enforcement capable rating, sometimes better than OEM, coz gen 5 PP pads are pretty darned good already.  Built for repeated, hard braking and not fading under those circumstances.

As you can see SHO and PI-S options are exact same.
