'97 Expedition brakes

That was one of the first things that got improved on the Expy. '97 was a lessone learned. The brakes just weren't what they should have been for an SUV. So, Ford improved them alright, to the biggest and most powerful in the full size SUV class. Then came the Excursion.....

I agree, $4 is way high. You could take tha $4 and trade up to a new model. The Expy market is really soft right not.
