Thanks for your comments Todd.

I will try to try to stress to my fellow SHO owners that all  GO and no SLOW is not a good thing !!
Several of these gen 6 SHO's are putting out 500 to 600+ HP in these " bricks" and with only minor brake upgrades. ?!?!?! 

I have noticed a HUGE improvement in braking power with Shorter distances needed when braking heavily  ......
THERE Is NO Doubt that is brake SETTUP IS A major improvement over the stock PPE setup !!

I amazes me that people seem to be more concerned with Dumping HUGE amounts of money in more HP with very little concern in stopping power ..... 

In time  I will do Engine MODS to include high flow catted down pipes and aftermaket turbo's with a livernois tune soon ; more once I learn a little  about other options .

Yea, I rreeaallllyyy want that front kit, with just upgraded pads/lines outback... maybe a 2013 booster setup oneday.

I don't have an ebrake on my manual mustang due to aftermarket brakes, so that's not a huge deal for me, but I am worried about response/pedal travel having 16 pistons vs 6 and using stock master cylinder.

Do they make a complete set up for the 14 XSport?

A seat of the pants feel tells me that  pedal travel is the same or better (less) than stock .... much better stopping power .... engages more aggressively.
I am also using Wilwood hightemp 570 brake fluid.

I would give Tod at TCE a call  ..... My guess is that because  the Taurus , Edge , Flex and Explorer all share the same unibody platform that it is a good chance that the SHO kit will work on the Explorer Sport .

Do you have a number for Todd?
Thx

Very very nice but too rich for my blood.  I can live vicariously through the guys who take the plunge.

Well good news/bad news.
Todo is a very nice guy and believes he has a set up that would work for the XSport.....BUT....
My original purchase and first Mod on the truck... 24"Wheels are going to stop it.
I opted for a large lip setup and that doesn't allow room for the bigger rotors and caliper.
So my only option is to get a new set of wheels....bummer

Is the clearance issue huge or just a little?  Any possibility of wheel spacers to accommodate the brakes?

  Been there done that .....

I did the same thing ,  only had my SHO two months when I got aftermarket 20 " wheels . A few months later I decided I wanted to upgrade my brakes next . I found TCE through another forum and   bought the front kit first and started talking to TOD about the rear. I decided later that I did not want to use any kind of spacers ....  So I ended up buying new wheels again ....... !!!

There is only about 1/4 inch clearance with the stock rotor/caliper. So a setup with 14" or bigger rotors won't fit..
I love my wheels but really want the big brake kit..
May look into selling wheels and getting a new set to accommodate the brake set up I want..

I don't think I can use a wheel spacer.
I am running a 24"x9.5 and stock was 20"x8, I think.
Just not enough room with the way the wheel hugs the caliper..

Interesting discussion, as I never thought about any potential clearance related issues with the wheels.

Factory, or TCE's.

I am wondering now, given I have the TSW's, even though they are wider, they are still 20" in diameter.

Hhhmmmm
