Your '01 sport already has discs. If you're changing to discs on a '91-'94 Explorer you do not have to change the master cylinder, you do have to adjust the pushrod length though. That's done by just screwing it out a little.

I think all ST have drums in the rear. There was a big ole discussion about this a while back with people arguing which was the better setup for vehicles with rear loads.
