Funny you mention that - the LH cars had two different size rotors 
(Ø282mm and Ø297mm), and two interchangeable version (PHP and non-PHP) 
of the larger size.  For a long time, the aftermarket world had the 
smaller rotor and the PHP version of the larger rotor listings exactly 
backwards.  If one ended up  with the wrong one, the pads would either 
be hanging over the edge a little over 1/4", or leave a little over 1/4" 
wide annular ring untouched (and the rotor would scrape the caliper).  I 
doubt there is the same scenario with the PT's, but thought I'd mention 
it just in case.
