Baby Boost Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjunior Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 First, welcome to the forum. Now, why would you want to pursue all the Frankenstein parts for something that seems to work fine already? And how in the world did you find that Nissan and Volvo parts fit on a Ford car? Good luck with this, if you are able to find any info, or decide to pursue it on your own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boost Posted May 30 Author Report Share Posted May 30 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22CarbGrayElite Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Definitely interested in any information you find for this. I can appreciate what you are doing as I put a combination of Cadillac CTSv, Gen 5 Camaro SS and C6 Corvette four piston Brembos, pads and rotors on my 2004 Pontiac GTO. Talk about a night and day difference in braking, and aesthetics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted Friday at 06:35 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:35 PM Seems like a lot of unnecessary cost and work for something that won't make any difference in stopping power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are taking parts from a completely different brand / model car and putting them on your Ford Edge. Frankensteining As already mentioned, why? What is your purpose and what do you think you will gain? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago Wait till you put together Fox Mustang Cobra brakes scrounged from junk yard parts. I can remember pulling axles out of 2 different Ford Aerostar vans. The car stopped after that upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Edge Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Well, that's nice. But again, Why do you think you need this " upgrade " and what do you hope to accomplish? Spend your money & time anyway you want but I'm curious to know why ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) I don't know what year you have, but on the 2009 Edge, front wheel drive Edges use 11.65-inch front rotors and AWD Edges use the 12.60-inch front rotors. (The 12.6" rotors will NOT fit on the front wheel only version.) Rear Rotors are 11.89 inch whether its AWD or FWD. If you're looking to upgrade braking (and not get ridiculous about it) consider switching to semi-metallic pads (such as NAPA Ultra Premium Semi-Metallic or Hawk Performance.) These will definitely upgrade braking performance by providing max cold bite, superior friction at high temperatures, no fade, but have several bad cons, such as creating large amounts of dark metallic dust, they wear down your brake rotors faster and sometimes cause queaking when braking. A better choice would be putting on carbon-infused ceramic pads; such as the is the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow or PowerStop Z23 Evolution series. Almost as good stopping power, but less dust and no squeeking. Lastly, but still an upgrade, consider a premium ceramic pad (such as Duralast Gold Ceramic or Akebono ProACT.) The main advantage is they are better at braking than OEM, much less duty (and its light colored) and they are quiet. But they will fade more when towing or hard braking. (I'm running the Motorcraft premium ceramic pads on my 2009 Lincoln MKX, and find them to be excellent.) .
