So dumb as to why we can't just get a kit for the Explorer

What? Superforged and Rotora offer complete kits.

I think the factory brakes are satisfactory.

Sport mode doesn’t change brake pedal response.

Yes probably. Throttle response definitely changes but brake feel does not.

Well, the shifting is "More aggressive", meaning you'll always be in a lower gear than "Normal" mode would be - which means engine braking will be a factor. Hell, in performance mode coasting downhill, I'm constantly bumping the gear up by one or two, just to keep revs low and save fuel. :cool:

You don’t use much more fuel when the engine is using engine braking. It would be barely noticeable.

True. The fuel comes in when you want to go faster downhill, which the performance mode makes me do. (Downhill that slow? Not on my rollercoaster!) . It's also nice to save the wear on the vehicle. (Holding back that hard means added strain)

I was hoping to get the brembos to match the shelby, that's all.

You can do the GT350 or 500 front Brembos using factory parts or SRT Jeep Brembos using Racing Brake rotors and parts.

Awesome, wasn't sure. I've a GT350R and I was sizing them up to the ST. Wasn't sure if I needed to get larger rotors as well.

You use the Mustang front rotors as well. There’s a guy that makes and sells the caliper mount bracket to make it all work.

Uh yah you need the larger rotors. Tony Hernandez on the FaceBook forum makes the brackets and there is the full list for the swap on there also.

Need GT350 calipers, GT350 rotors, GT350 caliper bolts, GT350 banjo bolts and crush washers, Tony Hernandez's / MoFo Engineering brackets (from Facebook), and the caliper pin kit (order from LMR; much much cheaper than ordering these from Ford). Only modification needed is cutting the little L off the factory brake line as there's no spot for it on the GT350 calipers. Just check your wheel caliper clearance as there are pretty wide calipers.

Yep that’s the list. You need 3/4 IN spacers for the GT350 brakes on stock 21” wheels not sure what spacers for GT500 brakes.
