The bottom line: this kit replaces rotors, calipers and pads in one package, so it is aimed at DIY mechanics and small shops who need a straightforward, vehicle-specific swap. The reviewer found installation to be largely painless and the kit delivers solid stopping performance with notably quiet operation, while offering a strong value compared with buying components separately.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes two front rotors, one front semi-metallic pad set and two front calipers so buyers receive everything needed for a full front-end brake refresh in one purchase.
• Direct fit: Built as an OE replacement disc brake kit for easy installation on compatible 1995-1996 Econoline models, reducing modification or extra parts needed.
• Vehicle specific: Designed for E-250 and E-350 models with 4 wheel ABS and single rear wheels, which helps ensure correct fit and function when the listed fitment is followed.
• Brake rotor size: The rotors have a 13.03 in diameter, providing the contact surface expected for the specified factory application and consistent braking feel.
• Prepped hardware: The kit ships with contact point grease, mounting hardware and brackets so routine installation tasks are simplified and corrosion points are accounted for.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 1995 Ford E-250 and 1995-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline trucks and Club Wagons that require front brake components for models with 4 wheel ABS and single rear wheels.
