  1. Do you have personal experience with this intake? I also have an AFE dry-s drop in filter that I can use. As for ceramic pads, I have had experience with the Centric ceramic pads and I have run Hawk pads on my S4. I agree that ceramics can eat rotors, but only with track-level use, which the Edge will never see. I like the low dust of ceramics, and they were included in the kit I bought from Amazon, so I'll stick with them. Back on point, does anyone run the Steeda rear bar?
  2. So I just took delivery of my 2011 Edge Sport and I want to change a few things and mod a little. I have ordered the Magnaflow exhaust, K&N intake, H&R springs, bright lights LED DRLs, and a full PowerStop slotted/drilled rotor and pad upgrade. I want to try out out the Steeda sway bar, but it is only .1inch (3mm) larger than stock. Is anyone here running one that can offer an opinion on the change in handling? Thanks in advance.
  3. Due to where you live I would say that the rust issues are normal, and a brake pad separating from the backing is not normal, but not exactly rare either. Brakes are one place where you should not go cheap. As for the dealers response, I would unfortunately say they are right. Brake pads and rotors are a wearable item, and if the caliper has not malfunctioned, it is hard to hold Ford responsible for a defective brake pad. They are advising you to replace both rear rotors because they are sold in pairs, as are brake pads. As for replacing the fronts also, they may be trying to make some money off you, but without you taking the car to another dealer or an independent, it is hard to tel. I would doubt that the dealer would even let you take the car back without the repair due to liability. I hate to say it, but I would either pony up and pay for a full brake service or have them tow the car to your house. You can get a full PowerStop brake kit including slotted rotors and ceramic pads for the front and rear from Amazon for $400 with free shipping and the job can be completed in your garage with simple hand tools. Good luck
