Sam I Am Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Picked up the calipers from the powder coaters today and man do I love the way they came out. I had them color matched to the Copper of the Edge and he did a wonderful job on them. I also think I have picked out the new wheels I am going to use. I test fit the AWD rotor today and it was too small, where the Shelby rotor was a hair too large. We are back to test fitting other rotors. I am planning on spending more time on it this weekend. Here are some of the pictures. He did an awesome job with the powdercoat, wheels look great too. I hope you finally find the right rotor to get it to work.

livinonthedge Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 After trial and error after trial and error we stepped back from this project and are going after it a different way. The Stock EVO rotor is 320mm as is the stock Edge AWD rotor. So in using that number we are going to stay with the Edge AWD Caliper and cnc a special bracket to relocate the caliper. We were so stoked about the caliper lining right up with the stock spindle that we closed our minds to other options, and its a lot less expensive and time consuming to go this route. I am fabbing up a template to have machined this week. Lets see how that goes. Here is what the stock AWD rotor and the caliper looks like while its sitting the way it is intended.

livinonthedge Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I finally found a set of wheels that will fit and are available. Had a ton of issues with size color and fitment on the Boss wheels. Getting my new wheels on Wednesday. Taking the Edge to the shop to make the brackets and I should have it together within a week to ten days max. I will post more info later on the brackets that we design.

livinonthedge Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Did you finally get the brake set up all figured out? Yes and No, First off I havent touched this thing for about 2 weeks because I was on vacation with the family so the project took a back seat. I ordered chrome 22" Boss wheels as pictured above and received black and machined wheels instead so that was one set back. I returned them and the chromes were out of stock and would not be available for about 6 months per Boss. I ended up going with a different wheel and so I will take measurements with it some time in the coming week to have a custom bracket fabed to work with the brembo and the Edge AWD 320mm rotor. For now this is the wheel. I am am swapping out the rear from a 22 x 9 to a 22 x 10 with a 25 mm offset so that it is flush with the fender, I do not like the look of it with small tuck in the fender. Spoke with the guys at Status wheels and he believes it will fit based on a couple Edge's hes done with this same setup. We will see. I work on Saturday and Sunday is Easter it it may be another week before I make any serious progress on it, but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ob_on3 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I had posted a question once in regards to bigger brake mods...this whole post definitely makes me think its possible...I have a big brake kit from ssbc that I had on my 06 f150. I'm sure being ford and since they went with the same as stocks rotors..I could probably get away with a cheap mod that will help with breaking...especially since I have the sport with 22s. Gimme feedback on what u guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
