How to tell if I have 1LE brakes?

Hi gang,

Well it's about time for a rotor and pad change, first time for me. But I don't know how to tell if I have a 1LE front brake set-up or not. The good thing is I have the original window sticker from the car, and all the options and stuff it came with. Looking over some stuff I can read and some I can't. But here's the brake code I have J65, the Iroc-Z option 1SB, it's package #2. Any help guys would be greatly appreciated!

Ron

The 1LE has alum calipers and larger rotors. Check my Car Details below for pics.
