Default Brakes J55 Huh?

Hello, me again. Can anyone tell me if J55 is the HD brake option? Are these the 12" or 13" front rotors. On the 13" rotors do they use the same calipers? My dealer tells me they were all HD's in 95, is this true. He {dealer} only lists 1 rotor and 1 caliper for all 95's, He can't tell me if it is 12" or 13". I know I should just jack it up and measure them but I don't have a place to do that right now, and if I did and found I only had 12" rotors I would feel inadequate and would have to hide from other Vette owners. What if my girlfriend found out? She would never look at me the same way again. Can anyone enlighten me on this. Seriuosly I just don't want to order the wrong parts and would like the 13's if I could get them affordably. Thanks
Tom

from what i would consider a very reliable source:

"In 1995 changes on the Corvette included the addition of heavy-duty brakes with larger front rotors as stanĀ*dard equipment"

yes...unless someone prior to your owning it changed them, or it was somehow ordered with oddbal brakes...i would say the 13s are the winner!
