just picked up a used 14" kit f/r

i can distinguish left/right, but are the rotors the same front and rear? thanks.

the rotors are left and right... but not front rear....

you will notice the vanes inside the rotor... those need to face toward the back of the car....

The rotors are the same, but the hats they are mounted on are different. And the calipers are different. The calipers for the rear have smaller pistons than the ones in front. Hopefully, the used kit was packaged so that the rear calipers were packed in the same box as the rear rotors & hats.

 

I think the rear rotor will have a larger hat so that it clears the parking brake mechanisms....

 

The rear hat is not "larger" than the front hat. It's just different. It will have a built-in drum to replicate the one that is part of the stock rear rotors. And it will position the StopTech 355mmx32mm rotor in a different plane, either more inboard or more outboard than the front as appropriate to line up with the rear calipers.
