The tricky part with brakes is that you generally have to take them apart to measure them. For rotors, you are measuring diameter. Outside edge to outside edge. Tricky to do this with the rotor on the car, unfortunately. For drums, you measure the inside diameter of the drum, where the shoes make contact with the drum.

If possible, maybe get parts for both sizes and then when you take them apart you install the new ones and return the old ones, but if you’re mail ordering the stuff then you’re paying return shipping too. May be better to just spend the time to pull one wheel each on front and rear and take them apart to measure properly.

And I saw a listing for rotors that said non ABS needs the 241mm?
