Default Brake and Rotor replacement Grand Caravan 2014 SXT

I recently bought a 2014 Grand Caravan SXT and want to replace all 4 rotors and brakes. I searched and found that a few people recommend Raybestos Element 3. I went to Rockauto but since I live in Puerto Rico shipping kills me (150 for the slowest USPS shipping, 500+ for FedEx/UPS).
I am honestly confused since some sites talk about single piston front and some say it is a double piston as well. I will be getting them installed at a reputable shop. But most local options have insane markup on parts.
Any recommendations for pads I can get from Amazon?

Dodge put HD brakes on all Grand Caravan models since 2012.
Raybestos Element 3 are available from amazon.

I have these pads and rotors on my GC front and rear and I love them no squeal, no dust, more stopping power they're a reason that police cars and taxis prefer Raybestos brakes they're long lasting and have been known for good quality brakes for a longtime.

https://www.chrysler.com/webselfserv...RDGCG1ER475280 went to this site since some sites were claiming some came with HD front and LD rear. Build date is 06-14 and from the spec sheet I got Anti-Lock 4-Wheel HD Disc Brakes so all 4 are Heavy duty it seems.
According to amazon the Element 3 are not available.
You have been very helpful any suggestions on alternate brand?
