Product Details and Construction

This disc brake kit includes vented iron rotors that help dissipate heat effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotors are coated with a black e-coat finish to protect against rust and corrosion, extending the life of the braking components. The brake pads are positively molded with shims, which help minimize noise and vibration for a quieter driving experience. The friction material used is Posi Quiet, known for its balanced performance and low dust generation. This kit is sold as a complete set for the front axle, providing all necessary components for a two-wheel brake service.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement of worn or warped front disc brake rotors
• Elimination of brake noise caused by pad vibration
• Improved braking performance on Ford Escape, Mazda Mariner, and Mercury Tribute
• Corrosion protection for rotors in humid or salty environments
• Restoration of smooth and consistent brake pedal feel

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning brake service. Clean the hub surface thoroughly to prevent rotor runout. When installing the rotors, verify the black e-coat finish is intact and avoid contaminating the friction surface. Use proper torque specifications for all fasteners. Since this kit does not include electronic wear sensors, verify sensor compatibility if your vehicle requires them separately.
