Stoptech 938.61005 Disc Brake Upgrade Kit - Front

StopTech Street Front Brake Upgrade

The StopTech Street Disc Brake Upgrade Kit brings drilled and slotted rotor performance together with low-dust, low-noise street pads. This front brake package is built for drivers who want more consistent braking response on daily-driven Ford, Lincoln, and Taurus-platform vehicles without moving to a race-only setup.

Compatible With 2011-2019 Ford Taurus, front; 2011-2019 Ford Flex, front; 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, front; and 2011-2019 Lincoln MKS and MKT front applications listed below.

Key Features

• StopTech Street - 2 Wheel Disc Brake Kits with Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors
• Drilled and slotted StopTech Sport Rotors for improved heat management and pad bite
• StopTech Street pads for reduced dust and noise in normal road use
• Front axle brake upgrade for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles
• Part number 938.61005 for application matching and catalog lookup

Product Details

Part number 938.61005 is part of the StopTech Street line, a brake package focused on balanced street performance. The cross-drilled and slotted rotor design helps maintain more consistent braking feel under repeated stops, while the included street pad compound is tuned for quieter operation and cleaner wheels than many aggressive performance pad materials. This makes it a practical choice for owners looking to refresh front braking performance on the Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, or Lincoln MKT.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake fade during repeated city or highway stops
• Rotor glazing or uneven braking feel from worn front components
• Excess brake dust from older pad material
• Noise from worn pads or rotor surface wear
• Reduced pedal confidence on daily-driven front brake systems
