After 100k? No brakes last a 100k even under normal driving conditions. I'll be happy even if I only get 40k

15k mile update on my Power Stop brake kit! My leased 2013 Edge Sport developed a shudder you could feel in the steering wheel under braking from warped front rotors at about 12k miles. Two Edge rentals I drove and my current 2013 Edge Sport with 25k miles all had the same condition of warped front rotors and it seems this is a common issue. I'm a rather "spirited" driver and have a heavy foot. It seems the OEM and basic aftermarket rotors all have a tendency of easily warping under heavy driving conditions. Since this drove me nuts I decided to check out the Power Stop Z23 Evolution K5452 brake upgrade kit which includes front & rear drilled/slotted rotors, related hardware, and ceramic brake pads. I found the kit on sale for a little over $300 and couldn't possibly be any happier with the results. In addition to a significant improvement in stopping power the rotors are still completely true after 15k miles of hard driving, and the pads are wearing great and generate very little brake dust on the wheels. Kudos to Power Stop for a great product, great performance and a great dollar for dollar value! I'm really impressed with these brakes and strongly recommend this kit for our Edges!

Have been distracted for awhile. The wheels are still available and need to go ASAP! Call or text Rik at 860 558 2037

The front & rear springs are completely different and couldn't be swapped even by accident. The fronts drop a 1/4" less than the rear, and a measure of the before and after confirms this is the case. The front should be a bit higher in any case as this helps to better distribute the weight from front to rear more evenly and reduces the tendency of the nose diving under heavy braking

Ttt

Yeah, I'm figuring I'm going to have to get a new bumper eventually and get it painted as my Sport is the only red one I have ever seen.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm look for a 2008 -2013 Edge Sport front bumper and passenger side mirror cap (or entire mirror) in very good to excellent condition. Must be the OEM Ruby Red color Thanks

I can now confirm the Yoko Parada Spec X's are great in the snow & sleet

I've got about 6k miles on the Z23 kit now and absolutely love it. Awesome improvement over the stock brakes

Any reasonable offers out there?

BTW - I'm running 275/45/20's as part of a wheel & tire package that I replaced my 22's with. Only $146 a tire!

Only have had a chance to drive them once in the snow - and they were way better than the stock Pirelli's! I personally hate Blizzak style tires because they are waaay to mushy feeling & unresponsive for my driving style. These Yoko's are more like the Michelin Pilot Alpin Sport winter tires I ran on my G37s. About 7k miles with no visible treadware so far. Will keep you posted though

I love the Yokohama Parada Spec X's I got at Tire Rack. Decent ride with great dry & wet traction and aggressive handling when you want it
