Our review of this brake kit finds it best suited for owners of 1997-2002 Ford Expedition and 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator 4WD models who want a complete, vehicle-specific replacement set. The kit's biggest selling point is that it is a direct fit OE replacement set that includes both front and rear slotted x drilled premium G-coated rotors plus front and rear ceramic pads, and a brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid to finish the job - making it a one-purchase solution for a full brake refresh.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pad sets with contact point grease and hardware so installation does not require sourcing extra parts.
• Premium rotors: Front and rear performance rotors are slotted x drilled and G-coated to help resist corrosion and improve heat dissipation under load.
• Ceramic pads: Ceramic friction material offers quieter operation and consistent stopping that closely matches OEM feel for daily driving.
• Chemical kit included: Comes with a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and a 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid so you can prep surfaces and top off the system during installation.
• Vehicle specific fit: Kit lists OE and aftermarket reference numbers and fits 1997-02 Ford Expedition and 1998-02 Lincoln Navigator 4WD models when fitment is checked.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing the entire brake set on compatible Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator 4WD vehicles. Buyers who want a matching front and rear solution and prefer ceramic pads with slotted x drilled rotors will appreciate the included hardware and chemicals, which streamline installation.

Drivers who need exact OEM-spec rotors for performance driving or who require parts for other model years or 2WD configurations should verify fitment carefully and consider alternative kits designed for those needs. Also, those sensitive to potential brake noise should be aware that reports on squeal are mixed.
