Why Upgrade to Drilled & Slotted Rotors?

Factory rotors work well for basic transportation, but drilled and slotted rotors offer several performance advantages.

Improved Heat Dissipation

The drilled holes and slots help:

• Vent excess heat
• Reduce brake fade
• Improve thermal stability
• Maintain braking consistency

This becomes especially beneficial when towing, driving in mountainous terrain, or carrying heavy loads.

Cleaner Rotor Surface

Rotor slots help remove:

• Brake dust
• Water
• Dirt
• Surface contaminants

This helps maintain consistent contact between the pad and rotor.

Better Stopping Performance

As brake temperatures increase, stopping performance can decline.

The Callahan drilled and slotted design helps:

• Maintain braking efficiency
• Improve pedal feel
• Reduce fade during repeated stops
• Increase driver confidence

Particularly useful for SUVs and trucks that regularly carry passengers and cargo.

Ceramic Brake Pads

Low Dust Formula

The included ceramic brake pads generate less brake dust than many traditional compounds.

Benefits include:

• Cleaner wheels
• Less maintenance
• Reduced brake residue
• Improved appearance

That’s one less thing to scrub off your wheels every weekend.

Quieter Operation

The brake pads include:

• Noise-canceling rubberized shims
• Ceramic friction compounds
• OEM-style construction

Together these features help reduce:

• Brake squeal
• Vibrations
• Harsh engagement

Resulting in a more refined driving experience.

Exceeds OEM Specifications

Callahan states the components are engineered to exceed factory standards for:

• Reliability
• Durability
• Fitment
• Performance

For owners replacing worn factory brakes, that means restored braking confidence without sacrificing drivability.

Great for Daily Drivers and Weekend Adventures

This kit works particularly well for:

• Daily Drivers
• Family SUVs
• Light Towing Applications
• Camping Vehicles
• Outdoor Enthusiasts
• High-Mileage Explorers

The combination of ceramic pads and drilled rotors provides a nice balance between performance and comfort.

Direct Bolt-On Installation

Factory Fitment

Benefits include:

• OEM-style dimensions
• Included hardware
• Factory mounting locations
• No modifications required

Whether installed at home or by a professional shop, fitment remains straightforward.

Why Replace the Entire Brake System?

Many owners replace only pads or only rotors.

A complete kit ensures:

• Proper pad-to-rotor mating
• Balanced braking performance
• Reduced installation time
• Consistent wear characteristics

Replacing everything together often delivers the best long-term results.

Final Thoughts

The Callahan Brake Parts EBYK034688 Brake Kit offers Ford Explorer Sport and Sport Trac owners a complete braking upgrade with drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic brake pads, installation hardware, and OEM-style fitment. Designed to improve heat management, reduce dust, and restore stopping performance, it’s a practical upgrade for aging SUVs and trucks that still have plenty of life left in them.

Because your 20-year-old Explorer may still run forever, but it should probably stop like it means it.
