370z brake upgrade for Ford edge?

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.

 

 

 

Edit: No personal attacks.

 

That brake package is not impressive.  I have the large vented front rotors on my Titanium along with the rear vented rotors.  The caliper size is the same, but painted red.  My daughter’s ‘22 SEL has the same brakes.  I don’t know what the brake pad material is, maybe it is a semi metallic material that may offer better stopping power but maybe it leaves more dust to clean off your 21” wheels, that anyone can buy after the fact, or you could order on your Edge without the brake package.  Summer performance tires might be great in the summer but winter?  Yeah, no.  So you either learn to drive a high performance sticky summer tire in the colder winter months or you swap wheels with a tire that is more appropriate for winter driving.  
 

The issue you were specific with was wanting to know if you could upgrade the stock Edge brakes with Nissan 370z parts.  Then you commented about some Volvo parts possibly working.  Then you go on about using the performance brake package parts to “upgrade” your brakes and solve whatever issue you were having.  Then you get butthurt over the use of the word “warped” pertaining to pulsating rotors.  Then you further get butthurt because I mention German cars with big Brembos up front, particularly my friend’s Audi I mention.

 

The fact that most 21 - 24 Edges come with the bigger front rotors, vented rear rotors, and the same caliper sizes is half the battle. There isn’t much left to upgrade.  If the cooled brake dust shields let you sleep better, more power to you.  You bought a PowerStop OE equivalent rotor, a Carquest high carbon rotor and platinum brake pads.  Congratulations!  You probably bought better parts than the OE Motorcraft parts.  After all, if they were that good, you would have bought them again, right?  The fact that I test drive two low mileage Edges last year with “warped rotors” and after a few weeks mine are starting to pulsate, tells me that the OE Ford brake parts really aren’t that good of quality.  
 

You do you.  You are entitled to your opinion and I am to mine.  I endorsed your idea for a  factory Brembo upgrade because I did just that on a car I own.  You seem to be mad because more than one person stated that the performance brake package wasn’t all of that and that is the path you chose for your “upgrade”.  Relax, it isn’t that serious.  And to your comment about hating because we drive lesser Titaniums or SELs… 🤣

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.

I'm also not into the Frankenstein idea - I went with like for like from Centric just because of the higher carbon content.
