Baby Boost

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.

Ok so I appreciate everyones thoughts here. After more research I found that the 370z will not work. The bolt patterns are different for the wheel lugs so that's dead. The good news about this is I found out for sure you can swap the brake dust shield from a 2023, 2024 edge or the same part number for the edge st performance brake package (same brake dust shield). After that it was just throw the standard rear vented rotors from the 2023/2024 edge and pads on. The calipers are the exact part number, the pads are the same dimensions just a different part number. The standard rear vented rotors have the same hat height as the stock inverted vent style so, it's all bolt on and go. Feasibly this is the best and cheapest upgrade for the edge brake system if you don't have the st performance brake package. This is essentially a way to upgrade to that package and the only additional cost (if you needed rotors and pads anyways) would be the dust shields. In the end I told my buddy at advance auto just sell me the rotors and pads for a 2023 edge and it spit out the part numbers I listed below. I ended up going with the high carbon rotors and platinum brake pads. I have yet to do any high speed stopping (what warped my rotors last time) but, I imagine the improved rear vented front rotors will be a huge improvement over the stock front vented rotors. I appreciate everyones input on this subject. K2GZ-2K005-A - front left dust shield. K2GZ-2K004-A - front right dust shield. AR85200 - powestop oe replacemnet brake rotor Yh78111hc - carquest high carbon rotor Pxd2427H - carquest platinum brake pads.

Fusion forum had this post on it, this is just one person that said they did it successfully. Another person claimed they swapped them on their edge and it worked. https://www.fusionsportforums.com/threads/confirmed-volvo-brembo-calipers-that-fit-the-sport.21151/

I am not trying to Frankenstein anything. I have information that the Volvo s60r four piston front brake calipers and matching rotors and pads will directly fit. I just wondered if anyone had tried that. Also doing research some people are saying they upgraded that Volvo s60r with Nissan 370z front brake setups. It was all bolt on stuff no Frankenstein about it. I will do what I can to get more info posted, hopefully someone chimes in with experience.

Through a roundabout way I believe the 4 piston akebono calipers with matching pads and rotors from a 370z would fit our Ford edges. I wanted to post and see if anyone had any information. I found out that a Volvo s60r brakes would definitely bolt on to our edges. The interesting thing is I started to try to find these Volvo brake kits and 370z brake upgradekits came up for that car. I just wondered if the s60r brakes fit the edge and the 370z brakes fit the s60r so would the 370z brakes fit the edge then? If anyone has any experience with either conversion please let me know if it was successful or what you needed etc. thanks for your consideration!
