I ordered brake rotors from car parts.com and my mechanic says they're not the right ones that weren't the right rotors. I looked online and it says they will fit so I don't know if my mechanic doesn't want to install them or what they look like they'll fit. The only difference is from the old rotor is these have drill holes in them does it matter?

The drilled holes for brake rotors are better for dissipating heat so I like using them. Can you give me the part number you bought? There will be a difference between 2wd and 4wd FYI. Here are the Motorcraft Front Brake Rotor (Part No. BRRC125) so you can use this as a cross reference. Please go over this video:

Please let me know the part number you received.
