Rotors are the same. The only difference is the pads 
These are ebc red stuff from when I did my brake job.
Top is non pp
Bottom is pp
I posted this earlier on another forum... I'm hoping to help everyone with this FAQ...
So I'm looking to upgrade my rotors on my 2013 SHO w/PP and can't seem to find a concrete answer. Can someone please confirm (and possibly provide proof) on the difference between the PP SHO brakes and Non-PP SHO brakes?
So far I have found the front calipers and master cylinder are definitely different.
Can someone confirm:
A. Is the only difference between the brake pads the friction material (i.e. more brake torque for the PP SHO pads)? Meaning they are interchangeable... (PP vs. Non-PP)
^ *** Thanks glock-coma for the pic... although the shape is different, are they interchangeable? ***
B. With regard to the rotors... I also haven't confirmed whether the rotors are the same. I've heard and read in different places that the PP rotors are larger up front and the rear is vented in the PP vs solid rear rotors in the non-PP. Could this just be the difference between 2010-12 and 2013-15? ** pics please, if possible **
The company I checked with is
Cquence.net. They have a great line of rotors (I've used them in my previous 2010 Impala LTZ) and they were also featured on an episode of Two Guys Garage.
http://www.cquence.net/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7apwKnPyEe8The OE Premium Replacement (plain) and the Premium Sport Series (2 different styles of cross drilled and slotted and 1 style with bi-directional slots) are made from high carbon - G3500 cast iron which makes them harder and stronger than standard rotors (G3000 cast iron). The internal vanes are also directional which aids in cooling the rotors.
Anyway back to the point....
Some vendors list parts as 'w/performance package' and 'except performance package'... while others, like
Cquence.net don't have a designation. I called them directly and they only show one part number for PP and Non-PP cars. They also checked another vendor (undisclosed who it was) and said they also only show 1 part number for both cars. They advised I should call Ford to confirm whether the parts are interchangeable before ordering.
They also advised the rear rotors they have are vented... Can someone with a Non-PP SHO confirm the rear rotors are vented and not solid?
