Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 1997-02 Ford

Our review of this complete brake kit finds it best suited for owners of 1997-02 Ford Expedition and 1998-02 Lincoln Navigator 4WD who want a full, direct-fit replacement without hunting separate parts. The kit includes front and rear ceramic pad sets, four vented rotors, a brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid, plus contact point grease and hardware, so the single biggest reason to buy is convenience: everything needed for a front-and-rear brake service arrives in one box and fits OE-style reference points for a straightforward swap.

Key Features

• Direct Fit, OE Replacement: The rotors and pads are designed to match factory mounting locations to reduce installation time and avoid extra machining.
• Complete Chemical Kit Included: A 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid are included so fluid handling and cleaning can be completed during the job.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: Front and rear ceramic friction material reduces dust and aims to give quiet, OEM-like stopping performance for daily driving.
• Vented Rotors Front and Rear: Vented front and rear rotors help dissipate heat during repeated stops to maintain consistent braking feel.
• Contact Point Grease and Hardware: Pads come with grease and the necessary hardware to help ensure correct seating and reduce squeal when installed properly.

Who It's For

This kit is for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on 1997-02 Ford Expedition or 1998-02 Lincoln Navigator 4WD that want a full front-and-rear service in one purchase. It is particularly useful for someone who prefers ceramic pads for lower dust and wants vented rotors sized to OE-equivalent diameters for consistent pedal feel.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners who need a single axle repair (front-only or rear-only) or vehicles outside the stated fitment. Also, if absolute factory-brand parts with original packaging traceability are required, an OEM rotor and pad set might be preferred.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete package saves time sourcing parts and chemicals for a full brake service.
• Ceramic pads produce less visible wheel dust and aim to deliver comfortable stopping performance.
• Direct-fit design and included hardware simplify installation for competent DIYers.
• Vented rotors for both axles support heat management during heavier use.

Cons

• Some buyers report mixed assembly quality and occasional missing parts, so inspect contents before starting work.
• A few users noted intermittent squeak, so bedding and proper lubrication are important to minimize noise.
