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 have a '12 PP and went with the EBC Red Stuff Stage 4 pads/rotors. Have been on for a couple months and I LOVE them big improvement over the OEM brakes.

I got drilled/slotted with my powerstop setup, not sure what the EBC guys are running
Normal everyday driving, drilled/slotted rotors are fine (they look good/work well). But unless the brakes see heavy usage like frequent autox, drilled is not really needed. Most lower priced drilled rotors will crack under that kind of use anyway. Supposedly some mfrs put out rotors where the "holes" are built into the mold, so there is no actual rotor drilling. That would make the rotors stand up to harsh conditions.
Solid or slotted would be my preference for "jack of all trades" driving.

Same here for my non-pp. I'm looking at the Centric premium rotors and posi-quite semi-metallic pads.
That plus the Lisle 28600 rear disc adjuster.
Rockauto, with shipping, comes to $288.
I thought about the slotted rotors, but, didn't want a possible rusty slot on the rotor.

The EBC Stage 4 that I have are slotted - so far so good.

A lot of us i have seen with the EBC Stage 4 kit. Break in period is VERY VERY important, but past that. These breaks are AMAZING! I don't have the time to dig through some old threads at the moment, but there was a lot of talk about these and especially regarding the picture glock-coma posted.

I have destroyed far more "cross drilled" rotors auto-x and open track than I ever have solid. Unless the entire brake system was designed for cross drilled rotors avoid them. Not my SHO but with my Mustangs. I'll never run a cross drilled rotor unless it was a system designed for it.

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.

The 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?
As an ending to this thread I just wanted to let everyone know, rotors and rear pads for PP and Non-PP are the same. Both have vented rotors at all for corners. Front pads as depicted in the above EBC Red Stuff pads are slightly different and NOT interchangeable.

I took that picture,SHO T1M3 said:
I'm using the above curved PP pads and my 2010 SHO is not PP.
I can confirm BOTH pads do fit in my caliper just fine.
I ended up returning the straight set back to Amazon. I'll try to find the part numbers.

When I did the powerstop setup, I used the PP parts on my non-pp SHO, works great!

If you Do any REAL hard Braking, GO with the EBC Stuff,
Power Stop Did not last for me....as i smoked the front
off the car in under 4K (plus one track day (30 Laps)
