Max Advanced Brakes Rear Brake Kit Compatible With 2015-2020 Ford F150

In this review of the ComfortMax rear brake kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for owners of 2015-2020 Ford F150 models with Electric Parking Brake (and compatible Expeditions/Navigators) who need corrosion-resistant stopping power in snow, salt and freeze-thaw conditions. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the combination of Geomet-coated rotors and carbon-ceramic pads that deliver quiet, low-vibration braking and reliable cold-start response; that blend of protection and stability makes it a practical upgrade for northern-climate driving.

Key Features

• Geomet-coated rotors: Silver Geomet coating protects the rotor faces and hat from salt, moisture and oxidation to reduce rust on exposed surfaces over time.
• Carbon-ceramic pads: The advanced carbon-ceramic formulation provides strong cold-start response and keeps braking consistent across wide temperature swings for confident stops on wet or icy roads.
• Double-disc ground finish: A non-directional, double-disc ground surface promotes smooth bedding and reduces vibration during the first miles after installation.
• Complete kit: The package includes two rear rotors, four dust-free ceramic pads and the installation hardware needed for a straightforward replacement.
• Low-vibration control: The combination of rotor machining and pad formulation is tuned to minimize shudder and deliver quieter stops in everyday driving.

Who It's For

This rear brake kit is aimed at drivers who live in areas with regular snowfall, heavy road salt use or frequent freeze-thaw cycles and who want a rust-resistant OE-style replacement for the rear brakes on compatible Ford F150 models, plus certain Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators. It is also a good match for owners who value quieter, low-vibration braking and easier maintenance of wheel appearance.

Drivers looking for extreme performance braking for track use or those who need front and rear components bundled together should look elsewhere, since this listing covers rear rotors and pads only and is optimized for all-season durability rather than maximum track stopping power.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent corrosion protection from the Geomet coating helps preserve rotor life in salt-exposed climates.
• Carbon-ceramic pads offer strong cold-start response and reliable fade resistance across temperature swings.
• Kit includes rotors, pads and hardware for a relatively straightforward installation without extra purchases.
• Designed to reduce vibration and deliver quieter stops for a comfortable ride.

Cons

• Some users may notice occasional pad noise or squeal after several hundred miles, as reported in mixed customer feedback.
• Not intended as a high-performance track brake solution; optimized for all-weather durability instead.

Our Verdict

The ComfortMax rear brake kit is a practical, value-oriented upgrade for owners of compatible Ford F150s and related SUVs who need rust-resistant, quiet and consistent braking in harsh climates. It delivers good cold-start response and reduced vibration, and because the kit includes rotors, pads and hardware it represents sensible value for drivers focused on all-season reliability rather than track performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the kit include everything needed for rear installation?
Yes. The kit ships with two rotors, four ceramic pads and the necessary installation hardware for rear replacement.

Will the rotors resist rust in salted winter roads?
Yes. The silver Geomet coating protects rotor faces and hats from salt, moisture and oxidation to slow surface corrosion.

Are these pads noisy?
The carbon-ceramic pads are designed for quiet stops, but a minority of users report occasional squeal after several hundred miles; proper bedding and hardware fitment can reduce this risk.
