Upgraded to PowerStop Evolution drilled & slotted rotors. Shiny!

Upgraded to PowerStop Evolution drilled & slotted rotors. This is what 44k miles looks like. Edit: Actually I guess it would be more pertinent to say this is what 7 years looks like.

I've never replaced the front rotors and pads before but it looks like a relatively easy job. My problem is there are so many different brands and types available that I'm at a loss for which ones to purchase. I have nearly 160,000 miles on the vehicle so I don't necessarily need a set that's...

Hello all, I am going to replace my brake pads, and was wondering if I should go with ceramic or semi-metallic... Info: The explorer is used for daily commutes, no off-roading, no towing, no aggressive driving. I am pretty sure the current pads (factory originals) are semi-metallic. If the...

Guys, I am needing new rotors & pads for my 2011 Limited. I have never bought my own parts - where is the best place to buy online? I am currently just looking for OEM replacement unless you guys have something else / better to suggest. Thank you Matt

Looking to change the front pads and rotors on my 3rd gen explorer. I've been recommended motorcraft, raybestos, and Wagner as good brands. Stock pads are suppose to be ceramic, but I think im gonna go with semi metallic for better stopping power, unless anyone has used ceramic pards that...

I recently replaced the rotors on my 94 Explorer 5-speed manual. I am the original owner I used rotors from a 1st gen Explorer from a junkyard...the junkyard rotors were never turned and in good shape. I cleaned the rotors, replaced the bearings, replaced the pads, and put it together like all...

So Ive got a question regarding my brake system. I noticed a problem with my brakes a while ago and for whatever stupid reason I just ignored it. I believe I need a new rotor now and pad on the passenger side rear wheel. Ive attached pictures that will show everything I can see (Pictures are in...

Soooo. Pretty straight forward. Driving today out on the town.. got some smoking from the driver's side hood/tire area. Hopped out and gave it a looky and could see the origination of the smoke was coming from behind the tire, right around the rotor/caliper area. Also was...

I am trying to change my rear rotors and pads on my 11 Explorer but cannot seem to get the right torx bolt size that holds the rotor. Any suggestions? Also it is more than likely will not be easy to remove so any suggestions on loosening the bolt. Thanks

I have a '98 Ranger 2WD. I recently got my truck lifted at 4wheelparts and got the Fabtech 5.5" spindle lift with coils, shocks, upper control arms & ball joints, as well as the add a leaf and block for the rear. I also got BFG's All terrain 31" tires and upgraded the wheels to 16x8 from the...

I have done a lot of research on upgrading the front brakes of my 93 Explorer with those from a 95 Ranger. I really like the idea of the dual calipers and larger rotors. TedJ's write-up "1st Gen 4wd to 95-97 Ranger Brake Swap Info/Parts List" does a pretty thorough job. Thanks Ted...

Has anyone bought rotors and pads from Rock Auto for their 2011 and up Explorer? I need to install front and rear rotors and pads and got a price from my local Ford dealership for OEM. Even with the discount from my company I work for (we have 8 F250 utility trucks), Rock Auto is still cheaper.

I just replaced my front Rotors and Pads yesterday, as well as a caliper and hose on my passenger side. On the passenger side, the front side of the rotor was as thin as a piece of paper. I had it looked at and was told to replace it. I replaced them, and I just looked at the rotor, and noticed...

Hey everyone. I'm going to swap out my rotors and calipers this weekend since they're the originals and worn out. I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on changing the hubs while I'm in there. I had the bearings changed in them a couple of months ago but I think it might be time to just...

I am wondering how folks feel about slotted and drilled rotors? I have warped the rotors on every car I've owned, granted I buy used cars, but they typically warp within a year or two of owning the car so I figure I might be hard on brakes. Going for some new rubber soon so figure why not...

Hello, So when I say complete I mean it!!! My car started pulling sharply to the left when stopping, so had it checked out. Calipers are sticking but since they are stock. rotors are below min, and pads are going because the calipers are sticking. Finally they say lines may need to be...

Hi, I'm new to this site as well as explorers in general. I just bought my first. 02 explorer limited. I have an '00 mustang that I've supercharged and now I'm thinking about "tweaking" the explorer performance too..lol, its a disease! Anyway, will mustang brake rotors fit the explorer? I have...

Hafa Adai From Guam!!! I am about to purchase front disc brakes for my 05 Explorer XLS 4X4. I plan to upgrade to aftermarket rotors, maybe drilled and slotted. Here's your chance to brag about what's worked for you or what hasn't worked so well. I read a post about BrakeMotive Discs crack...

Hi Everyone, Couple of weeks ago I purchased a 2000 Ford Explorer 210,000km. Has a service done and they tell me the front pads are 85% worn and the discs are worn to minimum thickness. The mechanics (Kmart Auto) tell me it will cost around AUS $700 to fix (with a bearing replacement also)...

This is my first time doing Brake work, and i took off the rotors and on the back of the driver side of it had a gear looking thing attached to the back of the rotor but the passenger side did, now i bought new rotors but now both of the new ones do, are they suppose to have those? what are they...

Hi all, I'm trying to fix the e-brakes on my 99 Eddie Bauer V8 All Wheel Drive. I've read dozens of threads here, and it seems like stuck rotors are fairly common. So far I've sprayed about a half can of PB Baster, hit the rotors with a rubber mallot, a piece of 2x4 and a 3 pound hammer...

hi ho! just installed new drilled and slotted rotors (all four). now when gently applying the brakes i get a "fluttering sound". its not too much of a nusience, yet but it probably will be real soon! anyone have any experiences with this type of rotor, or know if i can stop the noise? thanks!!
