“Nobody made a brake kit for the Explorer ST. So I built my own — bolt-on, OEM Brembo internals, painted something more incognito. Posted it to the forum and my DMs flooded.”Read the full story

Big brake kits
Stock brakes weren’t designed for the ST.
Factory front calipers are shared with the base Edge. The ST’s extra weight, extra power, and the way you drive it all land on those same pads. Three kits below — calipers, two-piece floating rotors, OE-fit brackets, stainless braided lines, every bolt. Bolt-on, no fabrication.

Owner reviews
Hand-on impressions, not paid endorsements.
“Pedal feel went from spongy SUV to actually inspiring. Bolt-on was clean, lines fit OE routing perfectly.”
“The configurator showed me exactly what would clear my 21s. No surprise wheel-spacer order after the kit arrived.”
“Rear kit kept the EPB working with zero coding. That alone was worth the price — I’d budgeted half a day of troubleshooting.”
Frequently asked
The first four questions every owner asks.
Does the rear kit work with the factory electric parking brake?
Yes. The rear 4-piston kit is engineered around the Explorer ST’s factory EPB module — no FORScan coding, no extra harness, no aftermarket actuator. Bolt it on, bleed the system, and the parking brake works exactly as it did from the factory.
Will my current wheels clear the rotor?
The 380 mm rotors clear factory and most aftermarket 19" wheels. The 405 mm front rotors need a 20" wheel or larger. The configurator greys out incompatible rotor sizes once you tell it your wheel diameter, so you can’t accidentally buy a kit that won’t fit.
What’s actually included in the kit price?
Calipers, two-piece floating rotors, OE-fit brackets, stainless steel braided lines, and every piece of hardware required to bolt the kit on. You don’t need to add lines, brackets, or hardware to your cart — everything ships in the same box.
Can I get a caliper or wheel color you don’t list?
Yes — both configurators have a “Request a custom color” tile. Upload a swatch or paint code and we’ll quote it. Custom colors add lead time and are quoted per build.
