I got good news, my 275/40r19's came in for the front so gonna ditch the stretch 245/45r19's today and will finally have a square setup, my steeda strut tower tool comes on monday so I can fix the camber, and rotors got delivered today and I painted the calipers so hopefully tomorrow, they will...
I don't have them yet but do plan on upgrading to them soon, I'm gonna do the rear first to get my EPB working and I know the brake bias is gonna be off with the stock 4 pistons in front, but only for temporary
Just ordered the rear calipers for a steal, they have another pair for the same price right now, free shipping and no tax which has been my go to for the expensive parts, tomorrow I shall be ordering a set of electric parking calipers, i wanted to knock out the expensive items first but pretty...
Few interesting things I found, Explorer rear rotors only fit the base ecoboost without the dual caliper and no brembo option which is a 320mm rotor diameter, so I had to look into brake pad specs to see because there is so much mixed info online that it got confusing. A GT Premium or GT w/...
Nah sadly thats the non brembo version, so I'm kinda thinking on just going base model hydraulic with built in electric parking brake (the one you sent) to keep it simple but I really wanted to do brembos but I just want the S650 interior swap to be completed cause next thing is gonna be carbon...
Alright... so I am currently stuck at a stand still... so if I go with the S650 rear dual caliper conversion... I can't find a spindle for sale, I been looking at a GT500 swap and can run a minimum of a 18" wheel which is perfect but would have to do the GT350 front conversion so the rotors...
You know what... I remember having it in my cart... actually I just found out its not compatible buuuut if you wanna sell it, i guess i can take it off your hands... for research of course :giggle:
So for my first order, I is planning on buying the rear calipers seperate but as a pair for the brembos and the parking brakes, and the spindles individually, I am awaiting on ordering each until I find good deals as there is no spindles for sale right now, lots of the rear parts are in lots of...
Rear knuckle is self explanatory, You MUST get a rear knuckle that is equipped with Brembo option, the must easiest way I have found to identify is the Dust shield, a Brembo one has a half cut shield where a non brembo one is a full shield minus a cutout for one caliper, here is a Brembo knuckle...
Lateral Arms are different between different chassis and packages for example
- S550 w/ Performance Package (I believe it has spherical bearings) Part # FR3Z-5K898-B
- S550 w/o Performance Package Part # FR3Z-5K898-A
- S650 w/ Brembo Rear Part # PR3Z-5500-A
I did confirm that LMR has a kit of...
Rear Upper Control Arms are the same part number between S550 and S650 brembo and non brembo
- Driver Left part # FR3Z-5500-D
- Passenger Right part # FR3Z-5500-C
Rear Vertical Links are DIFFERENT, Brembo option use essentially a shorter vertical link similar to the GT500 and GT350 I believe...
Finally gonna tackle the rear brake conversion, front is already confirmed by LMR, front rotors, brembo 6 pistons direct swap, for the rear I have learned, both are brembo option below however I did also confirm that the control arm is the same from dual caliper option and single caliper (base...
So for our S550, it appears line 720-04-02 is redline for tach, XXXX **XX is 02 : 6500K and 12 : 7400K, I'll look into S650 line for this but I did read you may have to look into the PCM and see if any options changed due to mis match data on cluster and body and may have to correct it like auto...
Hold on, quoting so i dont have to look back, so wiring is identical, small changes but only in wire colors, all functions are the same pin outs
1 : So the up and down buttons, from what i have learned is that if you keep the s550 steering wheel switches and clockspring assembly with the lever...
