Anyone replace front rotors/pads DIY yet?

[TimGinCentralNJ]

My wife has about 37k on our 2011 XLT 4WD and the right front rotor is warped. Decided to go with some quality, aftermarket rotors and ceramic pads (have the same ones on my Infiniti EX35 and like them), but figured I'd check to see if anyone here has done them him/herself and run across anything odd.

I've done brakes on every one of my cars since my early 20's. Just wanna' make sure there's not anything out of the ordinary involved on these SUVs

TIA,
Tim G.

Did you consider the Police Interceptor brake components

I had not considered those; out of curiosity, where would one source them from?

Thanks!

Dealers can order the parts and you can also order online at some of the cheaper Ford parts stores like...........

All the part numbers are in another thread on brakes.

im in the process of the upgrade to my 2011 xlt as well; time constraints and life has kinda gotten in the way but am looking forward to completing the project.

Parts and comparison pics are here so far....
