Which rotor goes where?

I am closing in on doing my brakes, & noticed that the "hat" on two of the rotors are taller than the others.

Which are the front ones?

Thanks.

The front rotors we used were 'rough' on both the angled and straight surfaces of the 'hat'. On the rear, the angled surface was rough, and the area that stuck outward from that was machined. Not sure if that helps any?

Heres a pic, the rotors on the RIGHT are fronts.

EDIT, just realized, the REAR rotors had extra holes in them too...

Thaks, but I was interested in which of the taller rotors goes where.

It appears that the center protion of the rotor is higher on two of them.

Would the taller ones be for the rear??

THANKS!

I still think it's missing some dimensions... And what is with the dimensions down to 1/10000 of an inch?? That's a bit extreme...

I;ve been trying to model it in solidedge for a bit and can't figgure out for the life of me the correct dimensions for the outside of the part....

Yes, new rotors.

I guess that I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time.

SO, just what is the diffrence between the front and rear rotors?

There must be as we are asked to get both front & rear rotors. Hmmmm.

I doubt that, however not everyone is going to have the rotors side-by-side on a bench for a compare & answer to your question.

If you can't wait for an answer from someone here, track down a parts store which has each rotor in stock and ask to have a look.
