CreamEDGE.

Welcome.

Love the SRT-8's. Great engines.

System fill capacity is 1.74pt or 821ml. I'd use at least two bottles. If you can, I'd buy/make a pressure bleeder. Makes it a one man job and goes quite quickly.

I wish these clad wheels we're the same size that we're on the concept! I have them and I think they're just slightly too small.

You sure it's not in the headliner?

Ya sure

Those look nasty simply due to the fact that it has fake rivets.

Not going to happen with the MKX.

How much brake fluid do we need to flush the system?

I've had 2 Volvo's, I would have picked a V70 T6 AWD over the EDGE in a heartbeat, you just can't compare to Swedish engineering. Although some of it is apparent (safety) they're just wayy better built.

Someone just needs to make a turbo kit for our Edge's. Oh and slotted rotors!

P.s. Sorry about the pics,.. she was dirty

They're more than a few vendors that make slotted rotors for the EDGE and MKX.

I'm glad I moved out of that hell hole. California, highest taxes and still dirt poor.

It could be a problem with the TCM (transmission control module).

AWD has larger rotors. Disc Italia is good, just don't buy their Titanium Kevlar pads.

No need to personally insult people. That's not appreciated. Lets keep it civil please. I didn't personally attack you. No need to attack me.

 

As someone who has driven an Edge with the big brake kit I know what I'm talking about.

 

As someone that has driven vehicles with redstuff and greenstuff pads I know what I'm talking about.

 

Feel free to disagree. But I've experienced what I've said and did not read it on a website.

If I wanted to insult I would have. You's be trollin'. Fortunately EDGE owners don't have to listen to you or me, the people that MAKE the pads will tell you RedStuff is the best. That Brembo kit is for nothing other than show.

EBC makes some replacements.

Read it, they actually make BBK's. You're not taking this SUV to the track and you don't need to get a BBK to remove brake fade on the street. Change the pads, and fluid. Increasing stopping distances on an SUV with already HORRIBLE stopping distances is nothing but a bad idea.

The most dramatic front-bias impacts are usually brought about by “big brake kits” which are not properly matched to the intended vehicle. Any time that a bigger front rotor is installed, there is a simultaneous need to decrease the effective clamping force of the caliper (installing smaller pistons is the easiest method) to offset the increased torque created by larger rotor effective radius. The objective is to maintain a constant amount of brake corner output (torque) for a given brake line pressure as Figure 6 illustrates. Unfortunately, too many upgrades do not take this factor into account, and those poor cars end up with both bigger rotors and larger pistons which serve to drastically shift the bias even more forward. While rock-solid stable under braking, stopping distances will go up dramatically.

Larry, you don't know what you're talking about, and that's putting it lightly. With the weight of the EDGE these pads will get into optimal operating temperature in one or two stops. EBC rates both of these pads as having the SAME cold stopping power and the RedStuff having MUCH higher hot friction.

"For heavier faster cars and vehicles above 200bhp we strongly recommend Redstuff which DOES offer much less dust."

It's 100% true, with these Brembo systems having more clamping force on the front of the car throws off the weight transfer balance and it can increase stopping distance. You need larger wheels too.

DP31749C Red Front

DP21795 Green Rear

DP31795C Red Rear

Order up! Get the Redstuff though, trrrrrrust me.

Yeah but if you put larger calipers on the front it throws the balance off and that can increase stopping distances.

PLEASE E-mail EBC if you guys want them to get their pads up and out of England. I'm sick of waiting.

Try these emails.

Remove the spaces and replace a with @.

If you can afford it, this is what you need:

Those are the Brembo's the OP was talking about. IMO if you're going BBK on the front you need a matching set on the back.

Welcome

Look for the oil leak, if it's not there, just wait a little longer. But I have a hard time believing the oil isn't dripping from the PTO. If there is a visible oil leak, make him look at it. Sorry service advisers make me sick. Try another dealer.

EBC Greenstuff are great pads. They have good stopping, with low noise and low dust. About the best compromise of all three factors. ... in my opinion.

 

That said, it still won't make up for larger rotors and calipers. But it does help.

Red or Yellowstuff is what you should put on the EDGE. Greenstuff is for sedans/coupes lighter than 3000lbs with less than 200hp. The size of the equipment is fine, the fluid/pads aren't up to the task. Tires also play a BIG part in braking.

Welcome!

FWIW, Eibach is generally more friendly with OE struts. I have a CX-9 and the CX-9 forum(s) are lame. No one wants to mod. Hanging out here for ideas and hopefully whatever new performance parts are available for the Edge will bolt on to the CX-9 even if a little bit of modifications are required.

Lol rly. M247 in general is lame imo. You guys need another CX-9 forum. But I think things like the RSB would bolt onto the CX-9 no problem..

I've been in contact with EBC brakes to get some better pads but I haven't seen much from them. Send them an email. Otherwise, instead of changing the entire system out consider getting some DOT4 super dry fluid in with SS brake lines. That should improve heat capacity and greatly enhance pedal feel (something the edge is sorely lacking in).

But yeah, EBC said they we're updating the feb 2009 catalog with Ford EDGE/MKX/CX-7/CX-9 applications although I haven't seen or heard much about this.
