Thanks everyone for this info. Man this group is seriously amazing. I don't just say that. I've been helped more here than anywhere else with this ST!
Tks again.

There is also a GT350 brake upgrade. All the parts add up to $1700 and plus you can use Ford Pass points if you have them. Only thing, you'll have to run spacers with stock wheel. Full write up from someone on Facebook.

I'd love to see that write up, I have the GT350R brake upgrade on my 2020 Mustang and would love to do the upgrade on the ST as well

There are numerous posts on the various Explorer ST Facebook forums. Just search. Hell, look at Post #39 in this thread. It's a front-only upgrade. I'm very happy with mine.

I'm waiting for someone/anyone to do Brembo rears.

It isn’t possible with our e-brake.

Not with Brembos. They built their own calipers around it.

Hell all the Brembo stuff is low level stuff anyway…it’s just cast aluminum oem level calipers…not forged like their good stuff.
Brembo themselves don’t have a kit for this car anyway.

I meant a FULL set, not just the fronts.

Yes, no one has adapted the Mustang and any other OEM rear Brembo. The GT350 won't work as that car uses a drum parking brake. The GT500 or S650 Performance Pack (not sure how much, if any, these are different than the GT500) rear Brembos could work as they have a separate EPB caliper. We just need an adapter bracket and to check how the EPB caliper functions.

I'd love to see if and when anyone can use the GT500 Brembos on the ST. I'd certainly get that upgrade!

Tony was supposed to be making a bracket to use the GT500 front brakes (16.5") in addition to his current GT350 bracket (15.5") so that's a start!

The entire GT500 Big Brake upgrade would be awesome on the ST, just as the GT350R Big Brake upgrade is for the S550 Mustangs

Yes they are available. I believe they are around $430. He also just came out for the S550 GT500 brakes.

Just the fronts, though, right?

Plus the rears, over $7,000?

EDIT - Looks like Superforged is the complete front/rear set for under $4,000, whereas Rotora is over $8,000.
