    • There is a big difference between the 2020 Edge ST and the 2024 Edge ST then.   - 21 inch wheels   -  Hankook upgraded performance tires   -  Painted calipers   These three items alone to me were not worth the money.  The package was $3000.  I spent less than that and got much better tires and wheels I actually liked.  I could care less for the red painted brake calipers.  My car is blue.  If the calipers were yellow, then that would be nice but not worth the money.   Car came with vented front and rear rotors.  " Performance Enhanced Front Rotors "?  Personally I find that debatable and when I looked up the p/ns for each I only found the same p/n.   Sometimes comparing years between car models is like the phrase " How dumb you are all depends on the state you are standing in at the time ". Different years = different packages    
    • My 40,000 mile 2022 ST-Line just started making this exact same noise.  Kinda sounds like a bee buzzing when it shifts from 1-2 and 2-3. 
    • When my 2017 Sport developed a vibration when starting to brake at speeds around 60 to 80 mph.   I suspected warped front rotors and the dial gauge confirmed runout was > 2 thou - no deposit buildup.   Tried drilled and slotted rotors and then settled on the Centric High Carbon plain rotors and they're still doing fine after many thousand miles.   The brake performance is superb and see no point in upgrades, other than things like Akebono low/zero dust pads.
    • Funny you mentioned this. My 2017 edge sport started with the 245 55/20 tires. I traded my buddy for his wife's 21 black st rims with the Continental all season tires. I recently bought some pzeros off Facebook edge group and mounted them. Let me tell you what a difference. Hardly ever get the traction control light activated any more.    The upgrade to the st brake package has been night and day as well. I just towed a small trailer (650lbs) approximately, with my entire family (wife,3 kids and two dogs) never had any fade or heat issues. The only thing my sport doesn't have yet is the brushless fan assembly. If I can program it in forscan and the connectors are the same I may grab one from a scrap yard.     I appreciate you endorsing this post. Why would Ford offer that performance package if it wasn't an noticable improvement? People just hate because they drive an sel and we be boosting about having a blast with our twin turbskis.😜
    • I think you missed my point. Unless you have a 2023 or 2024 edge with the 350mm front rotor or the edge st performance brake package your edge has front vented rotors. They are absolutely terrible for cooling so yes with repeated or even one good high speed stop the rotors can start to pulsate through uneven deposits left on the rotors . That is commonly known as warping the rotors as the surface is no longer even and has undulations this is commonly known as "warped" but thanks for your corrections so helpful for this post.    The whole point was everyone else with shitty front vented rotors can swap to this brake package  for a small cost and this would provide most that are just daily driving with a great durability upgrade. If you look at the surface area and clamping force the stock calipers are plenty for the the edge the only issue is Ford trying to copy audi with some shitty rotor design they came up with to be different.     I was pretty specific with my issue and the solution, I feel your comment adds very little value and I am glad someone else replied and rode right on top of you, it was cute. This post was to help everyone that doesn't have the st brake package upgrade to it for the additional cost of the brake shields. The fact that they don't need to change calipers in most cases is a bonus and the fact that you don't have to buy actual ford brake pads or Rotors to get the rear vented is also nice. But what you said is so much more important, thank you so much for your additional information about your buddy's audi.    
    • Not true. The ST performance brake and tire package is a big upgrade. And well worth it. I got it on my 2024 ST:   21-inch wheels Sticky Pirelli P Zeros Front and rear vented disc brakes with performance enhanced front rotors Brushless radiator fan helps the engine cooling during extreme acceleration and braking Vented brake shields Colorado Red painted calipers (looks really awesome)   Individually not much, but as a total package. Well worth it.        
    • The ST performance brake package is really nothing.  The only real differences are that you get painted calipers, allegedly better brake pads and larger wheels / tires. That's it.  Nothing else.  No larger radiator fan, no larger swaybar.  Nada.   As you mentioned, better to spend the money on wheels / tires you want and not what Ford provides.  The Hankook tires are really not performance tires.   If you ever find stainless steel brake lines for the Ford Edge ST, let us know.  I tried to find them and no one offers them specifically for the Ford Edge ST. The Edge is dead since it is no longer produced so no one really is going to make performance parts for it.  Not financially worth it.   You are not going to find a big brake package for it either.  In a post somewhere else on this forum, someone mentioned that Rotora had a kit.  Just for yuks I looked for it but couldn't find it availabile on their website.  
    • Thanks for the update and "fix".  Always good to see closure.
    • Windows installed an update, product key no longer worked for forscan, got a new one, now the driver can't load so forscan can't talk to the ODB cable, tried all drivers available, no joy. Looks like it's the APIM and the AI said disabling that would stop the network polling it so the computer could sleep at normal 20-50mA draw, but can't test that theory without the cable. Found a shop that will diagnose for $200, we'll see what the owner says. Thanks for your help.
