I did some research and here's what I found.
The Japan build models use one rotor for both the front and rear, and the USA build models use a different rotor for both the front and rear. In either case, both the front and rear rotors are identical.
Now, the rotors for the Japan build model have an outside diameter of 12.56", but the ones for the USA built model is 11.34".
Centric lists the correct front rotor for a Japan build, but the incorrect one for the USA build. Conversely, they list the correct rear rotor for the USA build, but the wrong one for the Japan build.
Of course, I got all of this info from Raybestos, and they may very well be wrong as well.
