Front Brake Kit Compatible With 2013-2017 Ford C-Max Escape - Drilled

In this review the Max Advanced Brakes front brake kit is evaluated for drivers who need upgraded stopping power without complicated upgrades. The kit pairs black e-coated drilled and slotted rotors with advanced carbon ceramic pads and stainless-steel hardware to deliver improved cooling, corrosion resistance, and quieter, low-dust braking. For owners of compatible Ford and Volvo models who tow, carry heavy loads, or simply want a cleaner, more responsive front brake setup, the kit's combination of rotors and ceramic pads is the single biggest reason to consider this replacement package.

Key Features

• Black E-coated Rotors: The slotted and drilled design with black e-coating helps dissipate heat faster and resists surface rust for longer service life.
• Carbon Ceramic Brake Pads: Pads provide fade-resistant, responsive stopping power with reduced noise and minimal dust for cleaner wheels.
• Upgraded Braking for Load Conditions: The kit is engineered to maintain braking performance under towing or hauling and during steep or challenging terrain.
• Complete Front Kit: Includes two front rotors, one set of pads, and stainless-steel hardware to simplify installation and reduce parts hunting.
• Versatile Use: Designed for mixed driving from city commuting to highway travel, offering consistent feel across different conditions.
• Precision Fitment: Specified for a range of 2013-2017 Ford C-Max and Escape models and multiple Volvo models that use an 11.81' front rotor size.

Who It's For

The kit suits drivers of compatible Ford C-Max Energi and Escape models and the listed Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50 model years who want a clear upgrade in cooling and corrosion resistance without changing calipers or other hardware. It is also a good match for owners who tow occasionally, carry heavier loads, or drive in climates where rust and moisture accelerate rotor wear.

Drivers seeking high-performance racing pads or those who require OEM-matched original material feel may look elsewhere; this kit focuses on a balance of responsiveness, low dust, and quiet operation rather than extreme track-only performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improved heat dissipation and reduced rust thanks to slotted, drilled, and e-coated rotors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this kit fit my 2015 Escape?
It fits 2013-2016 Escape 1.6L L4 FWD and 2.5L L4 engines and 2017-2019 Escape 1.5L L4 FWD/2.5L L4 if your vehicle uses an 11.81' front rotor.

Are the rotors rust resistant?
Yes, the rotors have a black e-coating which improves corrosion resistance compared with uncoated rotors.

Do the pads make a lot of dust or noise?
The carbon ceramic pads are engineered for low dust and quiet stops, providing a smoother, cleaner braking experience compared with many semi-metallic pads.
