Thumbs up Installed, Performance brakes from ExplorerExpress.com, WOW!

I received my Slotted Rotors and Performance Pads from Explorer Express.com, Installed them and they are awesome! Well worth the money...

Which one would you what?



Front:


Rear:


They look great behind my wheels!!!


The upgrade is completed and the new brakes are Awesome! It is hard to explain. Normal slowing and slight brakeing feels how it should. Very smooth and crisp. However, when I jump on the brake peddle Speed just Stops and so does the truck. Honestly when I was doing emergency style stopping from 60 and above it stoped SOOO Much quicker than stock. Feels like I have twice the stopping power. Not to mention how great they look. The rotor has a coating that keeps it from coroading and rusting up. The bright silver matches my wheels great plus the slots add that Performance look!

& Once Again Hats off to John V at www.explorerexpress.com Fantastic service and resolved an issue with the wrong part nextday! They really do care about their customers. :t:

:pimp: Note: Here is another reason why it is good to have an O1+ Sport vs. anyother Explorer. We have Larger Rotors than everyone else. The O1+ Sports have the same front rotors that the Sport Trac Trucks have. The Rotors measure a full 12" across. Where as all other models measure 11.25" across. Not a ton of difference but still made me happy!

I didn't think so either for the quality of the parts.
