My 94 L, despite new brakes, new master cylinder and valve, has the worlds softest brake pedal n feels like a 65 mustang with drum brakes; in fact, ive already had one rear-end accident because of this very problem, so what would be the best brakes to use for the rear? Ive heard to use Expedition brakes, as well as Explorer, but I'd like to hear what you guys have done. I am running the stock tires and rims. Thanks!
 
Contact TCE, one of our vendors. He supplies front brakes for the L, and hasn't recommended any rear Gen 2 brakes yet, other than stock.

In my experience on the street and on road courses, the rear brakes are adequate, even in conjunction with TCE's front Wilwood setup with racing pads.

Bigger would look better, and pressure could be turned down if nec.
