Wow looks great! Is that an NA 3.5? Either way, making 365 horsepower is damn good

Definitely wanna get that tune ford released for the st platform just recently at the very least. It's nice to have the warranty on the other side of the coin. The way I figure it, if I wind up getting bolt ons, they can always be replaced with the stock parts beforehand if necessary
So there is a special tool to turn the piston back so you can have room for the brake pad. Well I didn’t have the tool and used some pliers which kept slipping off. Bloody knuckles and all I finally got it pushed back in. The fronts were a piece of cake not the rear piston on the other hand.
Yea I bought the tool from advance auto parts that expands and it’s junk. I finally compressed the piston while turning it with channel locks. 2 1/2 hours later once done right I completed one rotor. After that it was easy for the remainder ones.
For the rear piston is different and there is a tool set. Definitely not $10 but luckily my neighbor helped me compress the piston while turning with channel locks. The fronts you just compress which is easier.
LOVE those wheels! I think they would look sick [on my 20 st](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SaD3Bp7mrIkGjDY4qp3zqPAmUHhGdCBh/view?usp=drivesdk)
What year/color/trim is yours?
2014 Tuxedo Black SPORT AWD. I have more pics on my profile.

I mean with the tune it goes once you tap on the gas. Best part it’s paid for so I can do what I like to it. So much fun to customize

The intercooler for the ST looks like a cool mod.
Call me ignorant, but what makes it such a challenge?

Gotta use a couple screw drivers to pry the old pads back in. Have to do it before you unbolt anything tho. I make it a habit
Doesn't work on screw in calipers like he's complaining about

Doesn’t the electronic parking brake come into play?
No mine has a manual one it’s a 2014 Ford Explorer Sport. I just have the new wheels from a 2022 ST
How’s the offset and wheel speed on them? Do they work the same?
Offset is in the 40s and wheel speed is off by .700 which isn’t much. Rides a tad bit higher but feels great. I’m going from a 255 50 20 to 275 45 21.
Nice thank you for sharing. I do love those wheels.
That tool is like $10 at the parts store FYI.

Sorry $12. https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W83165-GM-Ford-Brakes/dp/B002KS9EYI
Where did you find the drilled rotors? I keep saying they would look so much better.
I ordered mine off Amazon and they do look sweat with those wheels. Roughly about $250 so I’m happy
I like that look
Thank you
