Mach-E Brembo Upgrade with Part #'s

[bajesus8]

can you explain brake diving more?

Im talking feeling the front of the truck dive forward when hitting the brakes hard. The rear suspension will extend and the front will compress.
Getting air bags in the rear keeps the truck body level in hard braking, hard turning, and keeps your headlights level when carrying heavy payloads at night so not to blind on coming traffic.

I've been searching rock auto and other places and can't seem to find the parts you listed. Closest I've found is some used parts on ebay.de that i've screen shot and added here. Any chance this is the same, just a different version?

I was one of the schmoes that got taken by Ivan (fast mavericks) in his big brake scam....I got the rotor and calipers but the all important adapter was never made available and then he disappeared.

I drive my truck daily on the autobahn here in Stuttgart. Truck is stage 1 Panda tuned, basically they removed the speed limiter so it will do 140 pretty easy, haven't needed to push it any faster on the stock all seasons, maybe next year after I install the downpipe and new summer wheels/tires.

My brakes are getting close to needing a replacement at 19k miles, I can definitely feel some slight shudder and after a few slow downs from 120+ you can tell they need some rest...All stock pads and rotors.

Today I learned the maverick is sold on Europe.

Far as I know it is not sold in Europe...I'm American and stationed in Germany. I bought the truck in Colorado and brought it over last winter.

At least you shipped over a decent vehicle. In the early 80's I brought a Chevette over (had recently bought it before getting orders). Couldn't keep up on the Autobahn so sold in within a couple months to a GI headed back to the states and bought only German cars there.

This is the route I went, I bought used calipers with new pads and rotors, and with red caliper paint and brembo decals I have just over $500 in it.

so you went with the regular Mach E GT brakes and rotors, not the Performance brakes that the OP talked about?

Any issues or special parts needed or was it plug and play?

Just the regular Mach-E brakes, they're the same as the Mach-E GT(non performance pack) brakes but they're silver instead of red. I went with used ones and those were a lot easier to find, then I painted them red.

No special parts and the only issue I had was bleeding them but I think that was just because I have a '22 that won't go into brake service mode. I found the calipers on eBay and got some that had the hoses attached and used those hoses, then bought new pads and rotors and a new slide pins. On the backing plate there's a lip that hangs over the rotor about a quarter inch, I bent that straight and didn't have to change the backing plate. I had to use a couple washers on each caliper to center them on the rotor, I think next time I have to take them off I think I'll replace the washers with 1/8 or 3/16 flat stock to make it a little easier.

Thanks for the great info...I'm soooo close to pulling the trigger on this project! One more quick question....Will these fit under the factory 18" wheels? I plan to get bigger wheels for the summer but I want to keep the factory wheels for winter tires....

Kind of surprised Brembo doesn’t make a kit for the Maverick by now.

No problem! I don't know about them fitting under the factory Maverick 18's, I only have the 21's right now. I know the base Mach-E comes with 18's and the smaller brakes.

I’m convinced these are also Genuine Ford Mk4 ST Track pack Brake calipers someone should help verify this

 

[JasonGoz]

I used the 362mm ones, they were cheaper and easier to find and I was able to use the stock backing plate.

Did you use the 362 mm brake rotors with the four piston caliper? These calipers are huge!

They actually might have something! ai could be wrong. The have kits for mk4 focus st

If you aren't too picky, you can find used calipers off a donor MachE GT for less. I got mine for $240 each. I went with the LK9Z-1125-A OEM 385mm rotors.

Also, the MachE GT rear brakes aren't much different than the Maverick's and not worth the upgrade. I just painted my rear calipers to match.

I have the Mach e calipers as of today I’m just thinking of the potential of what other focus mk4 parts are able to bolt on like a turbo?
