Default lower engine mount passenger side replacement question

I need to replace mine. I noticed on the FCP site they list 2 different ones.

One is for car with 11 inch rotors other if for car with 12 inch.

LOL, sounds to much like "sport" to me.

You can pull the wheel and look at that thing. I didn't know the '99's had different sizes but I know the earlier 850's sure did. Here is my DIY instructions on it.
