Front Brembo Brakes Kit coming soon

[MakinDoForNow]

Thats for the chicks that fall for the Maverick and go with you cause you own it.

I was "is this what I need or want?". and "what would it be"? I do notice thread title has been changed from "Brembo Kit" to "Brembo Brake Kit" or possibly I missed "Brake" in the first reading?

Where do you plan on doing a proportioning valve? The ABS circuit will group FL/RR and FR/LR in the event you lose pressure from one of the lines. Have you calculated piston area between OEM and the replacement? If there is a big increase, not only will you get more bias up front, but the pedal will get squishy.

this, and I would be especially concerned if the vehicle uses an electronic brake booster.

Not for me... BUT will Brembo Brakes allow 16" rims like quite a few have expressed a desire for?????

Thank you for the work you're putting in to give us the Maverick ST/RS that Ford won't. The people who don't understand why we want this probably don't understand why the SRT-10 Ram (specifically the single cab version), GMC Syclone, Tacoma X-Runner, Silverado SS 454, 1st and 2nd generations of the Lightning, and the Shelby F-150 Super Snake Sport are cool.

Been working on this for a while and I’m close to completion.

The smallest you'll be able to run with the OEM Brembos brakes it's a 17" wheel, the RS guys have already done the leg work on that end. Check out their forums.

Been working on this for a while and I’m close to completion.

Parts are as follows:
2016 Focus RS Brembo calipers. I got mine on eBay for $360 for the pair. Yes they are ridiculously inexpensive for Brembos. They were actually more at the dealer because they wanted a $50 core per caliper. They come in blue and raw silver.

Pair of 2016 Focus RS front rotors. They seem to run around $200 for the pair and go up for name brand. Make sure they are 13.7 inch in diameter.

Same goes for the pads. Buy what best suits your needs. Daily, track, ..price will vary. If they don’t come with the hardware you’ll need to buy them. It’s the metal clips and pins.
I had custom brakes lines made for $150 for the pair. Maverick fitting on one end and Brembo banjo fitting on other side. I can supply them if you want. If we get a few people I can get a better price.

Last and most importantly, the adapter brackets. Machine shop said he’d have the prototype done in about a week. It will be the bracket and bolts. Don’t know what it’s gonna cost but I’ll definitely pay more than what the finished product will be. Once I verify that everything fits and drove a few weeks without any issues I’ll have however many sets the minimum order is for production.

Keep in mind you will need custom wheels to clear these. They are huge. The Mav and RS have the same bolt pattern so you could look for aftermarket wheels that fit a Focus RS. I looked up my wheels size and back spacing on Americas tires and they say they fit. For sure though you’ll need at least an 18 to clear.

At the moment I don’t know about the rears because of our electric parking brake. In reality we won’t need them so I’ll just paint the stock calipers to match.

Herr are some mock up pictures. The rotor fit perfectly, I was afraid the studs would be thicker and need to drill out holes but it’s a perfect fit. The calipers are held in with only one bolt in the picture so actual fitment position will be perfect once brackets are done.

Some of you are going to say, “Why? The stock brakes are fine. It’s not a race truck. You’re making it slower. Yada yada.” Yes the stock brakes are fine but if you can’t appreciate a Brembo kit for under a grand and how bad ass it looks that’s fine. But don’t ruin the moment for those of us building some bad ass trucks.

.

Amazing work sir!!

Please put me down for the brackets, I already have the Calipers.

Also, being that you have a Lariat, can you please confirm if the OEM 18" wheel will fit with brake upgrade!

THank you!

Just got the first prototype so we’re one step closer. I need to install to make sure everything clears before he makes the other side. Then I will test them out while I get quotes to manufacture them. My builder is a retired Mechanical Engineer who worked at Rocketdyne for 40 years so I know some thought went into this. So here are the pictures of the rough prototype.

unfortunately these 2 bolts need to be pressed into the spindle so they are secure. It’s a small inconvenience I’ll take any day for safety. He wouldn’t do it any other way and I’ll take his word.

Once pressed in they aren’t going anywhere

This is what he called a very rough prototype lol. He has over 12 hours into this project.

bracket mounted on spindle with 19mm nuts.

Then you slide in caliper and attach with 2 hex bolts.

This is far from done as i have to test fit, then drive for a while to make sure all works. I’ll get quotes for the finished product during that time. I will only be selling the bracket and brake lines.

Rotors, pads and calipers can be found all over the Internet for cheap.

Why didn't you have them make SS brake lines instead?? Probably the same cost in the end but they would last a lifetime.

These are DOT approved, low expansion, PTFE hose reinforced with a 304 SS braid and a PVC jacket. They will work fine.

Wonderful work!! I'm patiently waiting for the final product!

 

[Mylittleute]

If you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me what the factory bolt pattern distances is ?

 

[1lojoflo]

Great work and write up! Its a joy to see you put in the time, research, and fabrication to this project. Can’t wait for the finished product. Put me down for the brackets and Lines as wel. “Brembo”, if you know than you know. Well done .
