The numbers and dimensions I posted in November were from the fordparts website. I have not seen any of the parts and cannot yet confirm whether the disks are actually 14 inches.
As edub states, the Explorer has a good stopping distance with cold brakes, but they cannot endure repeated use at highway speeds. I personally experienced significant brake fade after 3 stops from 70-80mph in traffic on an interstate and had to take evasive maneuvers on the 4th stop. I don't think better pads would have helped.
I used to take the lead on this kind of thing, messing around, making things work, posting my experiments online, but I don't seem to have the time any more. If someone posts a how-to for the Interceptor brakes, I will likely do it too. Until then, "Ginger" will spend most of her time in the driveway.
