Front Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 1997-02 Expedition - Kit

In this review of the TRQ front brake pad and rotor kit the bottom line is straightforward: this kit is for owners of 1997-2002 Ford Expedition and 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator 4WD who want a complete, direct-fit front brake refresh without hunting down separate parts. The reviewer found the inclusion of both front rotors, a ceramic pad set with hardware, and a brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid makes installation and bleeding much easier, and the overall performance mirrors factory feel while offering quieter stopping and reduced wheel dust.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: The kit replaces factory front components using OE reference F75Z2001AA for a plug-and-play installation that needs no modifications.
• Complete Front Kit: Two vented front rotors, a front ceramic brake pad set with hardware and grease, plus brake cleaner and DOT brake fluid let you do a full front service in one purchase.
• Ceramic Friction Material: Ceramic pads are designed to deliver quiet braking and less brake dust, helping keep wheels cleaner over time.
• Vented Rotors: The 12.13 in. vented rotor design aids heat dissipation for consistent braking during repeated stops.
• Chemical Kit Included: The non-chlorinated 13 oz brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3/4 fluid provide the basic chemicals needed to prep and bleed the system after installation.

Who It's For

This kit targets DIY mechanics and independent shops working on 4WD front brake systems for late 1990s and early 2000s Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models who want a single purchase that covers rotors, pads, hardware and basic chemicals. It is especially useful for owners who prefer a ceramic pad for quieter stopping and reduced dust.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers with non-4WD models, vehicles outside the listed model years, or buyers who require premium performance racing pads or specialty rotors; this kit is built for factory-style replacement and longevity rather than track use.

Pros & Cons
