Explorer ST Street And Track Packages

[UNBROKEN]

Any plans for a rear caliper or does the integrated electronic parking brake screw things up? I assume rear rotors are coming also?

Rear 2 pc rotor are available.

Unlike rear rotors typically have a drum e-brake, since mid 2010 most of the parking brakes are now integrated to ePB (w/single piston floating caliper) so the upgrade/oversize are more restricted as you know unless the parking brake is deleted which is not recommended.

So far we only offered rear BBK (retaining OE calipers) for certain popular motorsports cars such as: Tesla M3 & S, Supra 2020+ MK5, Corvette C8 (with a 3rd parking brake) where there is a demand and space (min. 50mm in rotor diameter oversize) is allowed.

Since ST Perf. rear rotor is a 355mm so I think it's a decent size w/o requiring over-sizing, as we have seen OE fronts are 400mm+ while the rears are still kept at 355/360mm (eg. Trackhawk 400/350, Mercedes GT R CCM 420/360)

What is the weight on the two piece front rotor from RB? rear rotor from RB?

You can find those info on our web, may be other members can help to post the links.

I looked for that info on the website quite a bit today... couldn't find it. Found the pics of the OE rotors on the scales, but none of the 2-piece for the 2020+ Explorer. The website may need updating with that info. Based on the Raptor rotors though--it looks like about a 4-5lb difference for each rotor between the OE rotors and the RB 2-piece rotors.

Thanks!!!

Front BRF1886 (2001)
Rear BRF1993 (2200)

seems like this changed for the rear, best I can tell for the motorcraft number is BRF1903

The high performance pack only adds performance lined brake pads

so $1595 for 4 sets of pads? are they carbon fiber? LOL

I recall labor for the dealer to swap them out….

When I purchased my ST in early 2020, the track package included not just the "dealer installed" brake pads, but also came with Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tires versus the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros.

you're kidding right?

Yeah poor English on my part. Labor was included in that price is what I meant. Also apparently different tires it seems.

When I was shopping, it wasn't clear as to what the difference between the regular ST and the street performance brakes was. I finally found the answers:
The regular ST front brakes have 13.6" rotors vs 14.3" for the Street pack
Rears are 12.6" for the standard brakes and 13.8" for the street pack.

I'm not sure why they bothered having a set of brakes on the standard ST that are a downgrade from the 2019 XLT explorer.

I wish I could get the ST Street pack with 20 inch wheels instead of 21 inch wheels for better ride comfort and decreased risk of a bent wheel versus a pothole.

You shouldn't have a problem finding someone willing to trade you wheels.
