New member with 2014 MKS.  Loving this car so far, has every option except moon roof and heated steering wheel.

Last month entered it in the bracket series at Brainard International raceway in the street trophy class where it posted a best 1/4 mile time of 14.009 @ 98.xx MPH.  We also race a 1990 Fox body in Pro and Super classes, it runs 10.5xx's at 126 ish mph.

Looking for advice on brake upgrades, my front rotors are slightly warped.

Also looking at  tune and 3 bar, but still learning the ins and outs.

DO you seriously have to fill the 5 question thing every time you post????

Welcome aboard, rboss, the q&a will go away after 5 posts.  Necessary precaution due to trouble with spammers in the past.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Can you recommend a place to shop for the EBC Stage 4?  Summit racing was not helpful.

This is like dejavu.  My Lincoln also had warped rotors when I bought it and I have a 1990 Fox body.  Street car that dyno'd 532whp.

Another brake option is to get the VIN from a 2013+ SHO with Performance Package, take it to the dealer or use one of the online Ford parts stores, and order the calipers, pads, and rotors for that VIN

I went that route to upgrade to the vented piston calipers.  I chose to get the Raybestos police spec rotors and pads, but probably should have just gone with Motorcraft.  It was not a costly upgrade.

The factory PP stuff seems to do quite well.
